As far as service goes, it can take the form of a million things. To do service, you don't have to be a doctor working in the slums for free, or become a social worker. Your position in life and what you do doesn't matter as much as how you do what you do.

Everything in this life has a purpose, there are no mistakes, no coincidences.

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.

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

When I die I'm going to dance first in all the galaxies...I'm gonna play and dance and sing.

The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not "get over" the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same nor would you want to.

People after death become complete again. The blind can see, the deaf can hear, cripples are no longer crippled after all their vital signs have ceased to exist.
