I cannot be defined by what other people think.

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.

We're all called. If you're here breathing, you have a contribution to make to our human community. The real work of your life is to figure out your function-your part in the whole-as soon as possible, and then get about the business of fulfilling it as only you can.

My constant focus is on being better. Should I be doing multimedia video production? Or seminars on the Internet? How can I do what I'm already doing in a more forceful way?

I tried to empty myself and let the spirit of Sethe inhabit me.
