The life you want is waiting to rise up to meet you ... Will you accept it? Do you feel worthy enough to accept it?

I became so frustrated with visiting inner-city schools (in America) that I just stopped going. The sense that you need to learn just isn't there. If you ask the kids what they want or need, they will say an iPod or some sneakers. In South Africa, they don't ask for money or toys. They ask for uniforms so they can go to school.

I am disappointed by this controversy surrounding A Million Little Pieces because I rely on the publishers to define the category that a book falls within and also the authenticity of the work.

You have to be responsible for the energy you're putting out into the world.

You are here to do something you are uniquely created for. No one else can do it like you can, that's why you're here

When you run a race, you hurt your ability to compete when you turn your head to look at the competition chasing you, you lose a step physically and psychologically. Run the race always stretching to do your best, imitations will come in last, no one can catch an original.

You gotta be willing to fail...if you're afraid of failing, you won't get very far.
