Make peace with the knowledge that you can't have everything you want. Why? Because it's more important for us to get everything we need.

Too often we elevate the inconsequential into the influential... by reacting without reflecting.

Every morning when we wake up we've been given a wonderful gift-another day of life-so let's make the most of it. No one can do it for us. . . . Genuine happiness can only be realized once we commit to making it a personal priority in our lives. This may be a new behavior for some of us and a bit intimidating. Be gentle with yourself. It will all unfold. Like any new behavior, happiness can be learned.

It takes tenacity and daring to travel the darkest interior of one's self.

When we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present ... we experience heaven on earth.

One of the most important milestones we'll all hit along the way is the moment when we finally own our unique point of view and realize how priceless it is.

Today, and everyday, take as your personal mantra: I am what I am and what I am is wonderful.
