Life is defined more by its contrasts than its samenesses; Life is defined more by its risks than the many securities.

As the evening beckons with the promise of tomorrow... may your gratitude rise up and with strength answer, "yes."

I take every opportunity to articulate to others the ways that they have blessed and influenced me. I hold sweet memories of making the opportunity to thank teachers who have influenced me. I encourage everyone to seize opportunities to tell people who have made a gift of knowledge or influence.

Go ahead. Weep for the rare, the never seen this way again, the excruciating, ineffable, unmitigated beauty of love.

Dare to dream of your great success.

I will not be governed by the tyranny of immediacy.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
