Forgive others, forgive yourself, forgive yourself for not being perfect, and accept responsibility for your own life.

I've always thought that people need to feel good about themselves and I see my role as offering support to them, to provide some light along the way.

Why do some people always see beautiful skies and grass and lovely flowers and incredible human beings, while others are hard-pressed to find anything or any place that is beautiful?

If you don't like the scene you're in, if you're unhappy, if you're lonely, if you don't feel that things are happening, change your scene. Paint a new backdrop.

One cannot give what he does not possess. To give love you must possess love. To love others you must love yourself.

There are two big forces at work, external and internal. We have very little control over external forces such as tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, disasters, illness and pain. What really matters is the internal force. How do I respond to those disasters? Over that I have complete control.

Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love.
