For centuries you have been taught that love-sponsored action arises out of the choice to be, do, and have whatever produces the highest good for another. Yet I tell you this: the highest choice is that which produces the highest good for you.

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. You won't find glory at the center of safety, but at its edge. You won't find love at a place where you are covered, but in the space where you are exposed. You gotta take some risks. You have to not only pick up the dice, but roll'em. So go ahead, take the gamble. You have nothing to lose except the chance to win. Life is not long enough to spend it on the sidelines.

You, and you alone, decide what something means to you. Yet this is a decision that most people make based upon past feelings, experiences, understandings, or future fears. None of this has anything to do with what is going on right here, right now.

If the whole world followed you, would you be pleased with where you took it?

Because we believe that our ethnic group, our society, our political party, our God, is better than your God, we kill each other.

Life's irony is that as soon as worldly goods and worldly success are of no concern to you, the way is open for them to flow to you.

I tell you this: The purpose of life is not to please God. The purpose of life is to know, and to recreate, Who You Are.
