Well, the truth is, if you really listen to that bird on your shoulder, if you accept that you can die at any time–then you might not be as ambitious as you are.

Because if you've found meaning in your life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward.

There is no formula to relationships. They have to be negotiated in loving ways, with room for both parties, what they want and what they need, what they can do and what their life is like. In business, people negotiate to win. They negotiate to get what they want. Maybe you’re too used to that. Love is different. Love is when you are as concerned about someone else’s situation as you are about your own.

Everyone knows they're going to die, but nobody believes it.

Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too - even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling.

Is today the day? Am I ready? Am I doing all I need to do? Am I being the person I want to be?

Be compassionate, and take responsibility for each other. If we only learned those lessons, this world would be so much a better place.
