Those who say life is knocking them down and giving them a tough time are usually the first to beat themselves up. Be on your own side.

There are essentially two questions in life - a spiritual question and a material question. The spiritual question is 'Who am I?' The material question is 'What am I to do with my life?' One leads to the other.

It's not just a question of doing what you love for a living. It's about doing what you love with love. Then your life and all be transformed.

Love is the only answer to every question. It is the only thing that will serve you in every situation. It is the route and the destination. It is medication, liberation and should be at the heart of and expression of your vocation.

The mind defines, decides, doubts and divides - only the heart truly binds.

Goals are only ever a guide; a winding, changing path. It's your heart that will really keep you on tack... and nourished along the way.

Compassion is even more powerful than courage. Sure, with courage you can conquer a world - but only with compassion can you heal and build it.
