Every birthday, you decide whether to mark it the end of your greatest days or the beginning of your finest hour.

You are not your circumstances. You are your possibilities. If you know that, you can do anything.

No matter who you are, no matter what your culture is, it is absolutely possible to look out and extend yourself in such a way, that you can connect to other people and find that we are more alike than we are different.

The way through the challenge is to get still and ask yourself, 'What is the next right move? What is the next right move?' and then, from that space, make the next right move and the next right move.

Even the wildest dreams have to start somewhere. Allow yourself the time and space to let your mind wander and your imagination fly.

You have a gift that only you can give the world - that's the whole reason you're on the planet. Use your precious energy to build a magnificent life that really is attainable. The miracle of your existence calls for celebration every day.

Meditate. Breathe consciously. Listen. Pay attention. Treasure every moment. Make the connection.
