In America, people are so busy. Even the children are busy. I get the impression very few of us are touching the miracle that you are alive.

What I know for sure is that your life is a multipart series of all your experiences- and each experience is created by your thoughts, intentions, and actions to teach you what you need to know. Your life is a journey of learning to love yourself first and then extending that love to others in every encounter.

You will find true success and happiness if you have only one goal, there really is only one, and that is this: to fulfill the highest most truthful expression of yourself as a human being. You want to max out your humanity by using your energy to lift yourself up, your family and the people around you. Theologian Howard Thurman said it best. He said, “Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

The best way to succeed is to discover what you love and find a way to offer it to others.

To be fully human is...to know that it's possible to face the unimaginable and somehow put one foot in front of the other.

The reason I so rarely break promises to other people? It breaks trust. Without trust, there's no relationship.

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
