Every day set the simple goal of trying to be more awake and less distracted.

The poets who do this are uniquely conscious of this silence, this stillness.

It's all about the work. Nothing is going to fall into your lap.

No matter where you're from or what you've done, you're never stuck in a particular circumstance, relationship, or cycle unless you say you are.

That happens to me everyday. I watch my thoughts, not only on the mat, but all through the day.

I try to keep a positive intention, and use whatever resources I have to benefit others. I try to create businesses that I think are not hurtful. I try to do things that I think are helpful to the environment, to the animals, and to the planet.

I read "The Yoga Sutras" every day.And also the "The Bhagavad Gita." Those two books sit by my bed.
