I've learned that each day is definitely a gift.

I pray to the architect that designed me. I'm grateful.

Probably "I love my life" would be something I would say out loud to the planet - just that positive affirmation. And also, "Life is short," "Don't take yourself so seriously," and "Lighten the f - k up." And if that offends you, you really need to lighten the f - k up.

I do pranayama breathing now as a meditation, and that's very helpful. Meditating changed my life.

I learned that once it's over, it's really over, and to not take anything for granted.

I love just going out; long drives, the ocean, my kids, new music, new gear, new plug-ins, coffee, and donuts at four in the morning. Even just waking up and writing.

I try to remember at least twenty to thirty things I'm grateful for every day, and I share those with at least one person that I am super grateful for.
