We create stress for ourselves because you feel like you have to do it. You have to. I don't feel that anymore

It doen't matter what you've been through, where you come from... none of that matters. What matters is how you choose to love, how you choose to express that love through your work, through your family, through what you have to give to the world.

Balance lives in the present. The surest way to lose your footing is to focus on what dreadful things might happen.

What I know for sure is that behind every catastrophe, there are great lessons to be learned. Among the many that we as a country need to get is that as long as we play the "us and them" game, we don't evolve as people, as a nation, as a planet.

Lasting joy is found not in what you get, but in what you give.

...I learned to be grateful no matter what happened in my life!

Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do.
