To be a mentor you need to understand what's going on in a young person's life and you just want to have an internal dialogue that says, 'How can I help? Because I really care.'

Coincidences are not accidents but signals from the universe which can guide us toward our true destiny.

Your brain does not manufacture thoughts. Your thoughts shape neural networks.

Spiritual energy is the one kind that never runs out.

I think that is a very important component, to have passion, to have a dream, to have a purpose in life.

Health is not just the absence of a disease. It's an inner joyfulness that should be ours all the time; a state of positive well-being.

To limit yourself to a label of "alcoholic" is masochistic and false if you have awakened a deeper spiritual identity within and have come to know your true self as unconditioned pure awareness. This doesn't mean that recovering alcoholics don't have to be concerned with relapsing, they must always remain vigilant. The power of addiction should not be underestimated. This exercise in vigilance can become a spiritual tool of liberation as well. Always being aware of choosing between real happiness and false happiness is also the discrimination required to attain enlightenment.
