The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be. I believe you can only do this when you stop long enough to hear the whisper you might have drowned out, that small voice compelling you toward the kind of work you'd be willing to do even if you weren't paid. Once you tune out the noise of your life and hear that call, you face the biggest challenge of all: to find the courage to seek out your big dream, regardless of what anyone else says or thinks.

There is no easy way out. If there were, I would have bought it. And believe me, it would be one of my favorite things!

I consider this world to be like a school and our lives to be the classrooms.

Let not one single life have passed in vain. What really matters is who you love and how you love.

My father turned my life around insisting I be more than I was and by believing I could be more.

Life is a big ol' canvas. And you have every combination of colors to paint with.

So go ahead. Fall down. The world looks different from the ground.
