Creating ways to be happy is your life's work, a challenge that won't end until you die.

Although beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, the feeling of being beautiful exists solely in the mind of the beheld.

People who get what they want tend to be the ones who make the effort to know what they want.

You shine for who you are ... because no one can steal your light.

I have discovered that many of the things I thought were priceless are as cheap as costume jewelry, and much of what I labeled worthless was, all the time, filled with the kind of beauty that directly nourishes my soul... Now I think that the vast majority of us "normal" people spend our lives trashing our treasures and treasuring our trash. We bustle around trying to create the impression that we are hip, imperturbable, omniscient, in perfect control, when in fact we are awkward and scared and bewildered.

A lot of my clients say they don't deserve to mope about their sad little memories while children are starving in India. I say that just because your broken arm isn't as serious as someone else's gut wound, that doesn't mean your injury isn't excruciating or doesn't require attention. If you want to help the Indian children, or make the world a better place in any other way, you have to start by becoming whole yourself.

I want you to be supervised, all day every day, by people who forgive your errors and believe in your destiny.
