I consider myself to be an inverse paranoid. I always operate as if everything is part of a universal plot to enhance my well-being.

Now, when anything 'bad' happens, I remember that everything that ever happens to me has within it the seeds of something better. I look for the upside rather than the downside. I ask myself, 'Where's the greater benefit in this event?'

I wanted to be a Teacher with a big T, teach the whole planet. It led me into writing and speaking to large groups.

The biggest rewards in life are found outside your comfort zone. Live with it. Fear and risk are prerequisites if you want to enjoy a life of success and adventure.

The day you change your responses is the day your life will begin to get better.

Do it, delegate it, delay it, or dump it.

I believe that people make their own luck by great preparation and good strategy.
