Discovering the truth about ourselves is a lifetime’s work, but it’s worth the effort.

Often out of periods of losing come the greatest strivings toward a new winning streak.

It's not the honors and the prizes and the fancy outsides of life which ultimately nourish our souls. It's the knowing that we can be trusted, that we never have to fear the truth, that the bedrock of our very being is good stuff.

Our world hangs like a magnificent jewel in the vastness of space. Every one of us is a part of that jewel. A facet of that jewel. And in the perspective of infinity, our differences are infinitesimal.

There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.

Love and trust, in the space between what’s said and what’s heard in our life, can make all the difference in the world.
