Everybody has a calling. And your real job in life is to figure out as soon as possible what that is, who you were meant to be, and to begin to honor that in the best way possible for yourself.

The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be. I believe you can only do this when you stop long enough to hear the whisper you might have drowned out, that small voice compelling you toward the kind of work you'd be willing to do even if you weren't paid. Once you tune out the noise of your life and hear that call, you face the biggest challenge of all: to find the courage to seek out your big dream, regardless of what anyone else says or thinks.

I made the decision I will own my own show. So never again will I ever be told what I can and can not do.

Whatever our dreams, ideas, or projects, we plant a seed, nurture it -- and then reap the fruits of our labors.

For years I've advocated keeping a gratitude journal, writing down five things every day that brought pleasure and gratefulness.

Courage is feeling the fear and doing it anyway.

If you make a choice that goes against what everyone else thinks, the world will not fall apart.
