It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them.

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

There is nothing wrong with making mistakes and not having all the answers, so long as we are willing to admit this and strive for personal betterment. Those who think they know it all have no way of finding out that they don't.

When we feel joyful, euphoric, happy, we are more open to life, more capable of seeing things clearly and handling daily tensions.

Man is happiest when he is creating. In fact, the highest state of which man is capable lies in the creative act.

Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable. The purpose of life is to matter-to count, to stand for something, to have it make so difference that we lived at all.

There is only the moment. The now. Only what you are experiencing at this second is real.
