You're working yourself till late at night, and sleeping crazy with deadlines - you're doing it for a reason.

I have projects in life that I'm engaged in, I have things that stimulate me in my life, that make me happy. But more interesting for me is: I'm still trying to figure it out.

I think I've always had a pretty good time in life. I mean, I've had major trouble, and major brain surgeries, and challenges in relationships - like anyone else - but overall, when I wake up in the morning, and I'm aware, I'm like, "Ok. What's happening today? What's next?"

You're working yourself till late at night, and sleeping crazy with deadlines - you're doing it for a reason.

I'm here, and I know that it's finite; I know that I'm not going to always be here.

There must be something here for me to get or to share or to do. So I have the duty that I do, the dharma that I do - which I love - with my teaching, with my family, my son, my students, my girlfriend.

Your experience is nutrition. You digest your experience and you grow from it.
