I applaud what the Oscars are doing to promote diversity. I think it's great.

I like to move towards a place where my greatest experience is promoting happiness for others. I know that that creates a cycle of the same great experience.

In the yogic tradition, this principle of using intense effort to burn through life's distractions is called Tapas. It's another Sanskrit word, roughly defined as "heat" or "essential energy." The concept is that through a disciplined approach to work and self-sacrifice, Tapas will burn away the negativity that separates us from God. By working our hardest and happily enduring the hardships of life we are able to create a sense of peace and clarity in ourselves.

Mistakes only cost you when you don't acknowledge them.

Last year my wife got a Rolls-Royce.

When the mind is totally still, there's only bliss. I got a piece of that reality from my first yoga class, from smiling and breathing in every difficult pose. I went, "Oh my God! I'm clear! I love this!"

I know a lot of angry liberals right now. Hell, I know a lot of angry vegans.
