I have learned there is no joy without hardship. There is no pleasure without pain. Would we know the comfort of peace without the distress of war?

If you truly want to grow as a person and learn, you should realize that the universe has enrolled you in the graduate program of life, called loss.

The world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles...only by a spiritual journey...by which we arrive at the ground at our feet, and learn to be at home. The ultimate lesson all of us have to learn is unconditional love, which includes not only others but ourselves as well.

Watching a peaceful death of a human being reminds us of a falling star; one of a million lights in a vast sky that flares up for a brief moment only to disappear into the endless night forever.

I believe every person has a guardian spirit or angel. They assist us in the transition between life and death and they also help us pick our parents before we are born.

We bring a deeper commitment to our happiness when we fully understand, that our time left is limited and we really need to make it count.

We need to teach the next generation of children from day one that they are responsible for their lives.
