Once we reach a certain age, we tend to recalibrate our expectations. We expect less from the world once we've seen it up close.

It's tempting to think that decisions that are not life-and-death are therefore unimportant, and that the little compromises we make don't matter to our bottom line or our spiritual selves.

We have to remember that maintaining our ethical and spiritual selves is absolutely linked with achieving the degree of success we're working toward.

A healthy, vital society is not one in which we all agree. It is one in which those who disagree can do so with honor and respect for other people's opinions... and an appreciation of our shared humanity.

People hear you on the level you speak to them from. Speak from your heart, and they will hear with theirs.
