I'm not okay, you're not okay, and that's okay.

When we face the worst that can happen in any situation, we grow. When circumstances are at their worst, we can find our best.

I've told my children that when I die, to release balloons in the sky to celebrate that I graduated. For me, death is a graduation.

Death is simply a shedding of the physical body like the butterfly shedding its cocoon. It is a transition to a higher state of consciousness where you continue to perceive, to understand, to laugh, and to be able to grow.

I always say that death can be one of the greatest experiences ever. If you live each day of your life right, then you have nothing to fear.

We need to teach the next generation of children from day one that they are responsible for their lives. Mankind's greatest gift, also its greatest curse, is that we have free choice. We can make our choices built from love or from fear.

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of those depths.
