Throughout life, we get clues that remind us of the direction we are supposed to be headed if you stay focused, then you learn your lessons.

There is no mistaking love. You feel it in your heart. It is the common fiber of life, the flame that heats our soul, energizes our spirit, and supplies passion to our lives.

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

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

There are only two emotions: love and fear. All positive emotions come from love, all negative emotions from fear. From love flows happiness, contentment, peace, and joy. From fear comes anger, hate, anxiety and guilt. It's true that there are only two primary emotions, love and fear. But it's more accurate to say that there is only love or fear, for we cannot feel these two emotions together, at exactly the same time. They're opposites. If we're in fear, we are not in a place of love. When we're in a place of love, we cannot be in a place of fear.

I say to people who care for people who are dying, if you really love that person and want to help them, be with them when their end comes close. Sit with them - you don't even have to talk. You don't have to do anything but really be there with them.

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.
