I think education is power. I think that being able to communicate with people is power. One of my main goals on the planet is to encourage people to empower themselves.

You are not the product of your circumstances. You are a composite of all the things you believe, and all the places you believe you can go. Your past does not define you. You can step out of your history and create a new day for yourself. Even if the entire culture is saying, "You can't." Even if every single possible bad thing that can happen to you does. You can keep going forward.

In order to be truly happy, you must live along with, and you must stand for something larger than yourself.

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.

As you become more clear about who you really are, you'll be better able to decide what is best for you - the first time around.

There is no such thing as failure. Mistakes happen in your life to bring into focus more clearly who you really are.

Material success is rewarding and a lot of fun, but it's not the most important thing in my life because I know when this is all over, the Master isn't going to ask me how many things I owned or how many television shows I did. I think the questions will be, What did I do to make a difference? Did I learn to live with love in my heart?
