We think that because we dwell inside our bodies that we are separate from other people who dwell inside theirs.

I take very seriously this notion that my highest job is to live a better life, all the time and to the best of my ability. I need to monitor my own progress - take my own inventory - and clean my own closet. I am trying to do all that.

Sobriety itself is today's high, for it is ultimately in the most centered consciousness that we find our power to transcend the world.

The purpose of our lives is to give birth to the best that is in us. It is only through our own personal awakening that the world can be awakened. We cannot give what we do not have.

Instead of praying: 'Dear God, bring me someone fabulous,' try: 'Dear God, make me into someone fabulous.'

We are beautiful because God created us that way

I see the universe as naturally and infinitely self-correcting.
