You cannot continue to succeed in the world or have a fulfilling life in the world unless you choose to use your life in the service somehow to others and give back what you have been given. That's how you keep it. That's how you get it. That's how you grow it.

The great courageous act that we must all do, is to have the courage to step out of our history and past so that we can live our dreams.
