The pathway to your best life isn't the route of denial. It's owning every moment.

Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.

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

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.

What material success does is provide you with the ability to concentrate on other things that really matter. And that is being able to make a difference, not only in your own life, but in other people's lives.

I decided to be the best and the smartest.

I was like you are. I thought Jesus came and died on the cross. Jesus' being here was about his death and dying on the cross but it really was about him coming to show us how to do it. To show us the Christ-consciousness that he had and that conciousness abides in all of us. That's what I got. That's what I got.
