The word mantra comes from two Sanskrit words man, ("to think") and tra ("tool'). So the literal translation is "a tool of thought." And that's how mantras are used in Buddhist and Hindu practices, as tools that clear your mind of distractions. Because when you focus on repeating that mantra over and over again, soon the noise will die down and all you will hear is your inner voice.

Not every move you make has to be a great leap

You just have to smile and breathe. You do the best you can with what you have and that's it.

No matter how rich you are, you cannot transport yourself to the future or the past.

Fortunately, Hollywood is open to change. It's just a question of how to go about doing it.

If you are a good giver, you will be great getter. The less you need, the more you attract.

The pain that's created by avoiding hard work is actually much worse than any pain created from the actual work itself. Because if you don't begin to work on those ideas that God has blessed you with, they will become stagnant inside of you and eventually begin to eat away at you. You might seem OK on the outside, but inside you will be ill from not getting those ideas out of your heart and into the world. Stalling leads to sickness. But taking steps, even baby steps, always leads to success.
