Laughter is essential to our equilibrium, to our well-being, to our aliveness. If we're not well, laughter helps us get well. If we are well, laughter helps us stay that way.

If we're not enjoying what we've got...and even if we do get 'more,' we won't enjoy that, either.

The purpose of education is to make the choices clear to people, not to make the choices for people.

..Fear is the energy to do your best in a new situation. The feeling of fear (anxiety, nervousness, shyness, or any of its other aliases) is really "preparation energy". It's getting you ready to excel, to succeed, to do your best and to learn the most.

Courage, contrary to popular belief, is not the absence of fear. Courage is the wisdom to act in spite of fear.
