We can never really change someone; people must change themselves.

We are not animals. We are not a product of what has happened to us in our past. We have the power of choice.

The key to growth is to learn to make promises and to keep them.

Creating and integrating an empowering personal mission statement is one of the most important investments we can make.

Look at the weaknesses of others with compassion, not accusation. It's not what they're not doing or should be doing that's the issue. The issue is your own chosen response to the situation and what you should be doing. If you start to think the problem is "out there," stop yourself. That thought is the problem.

While we cannot always choose what happens to us, we can choose our responses.

Develop all four intelligences. PQ (physical intelligence) which represents 70 trillion cells that fight disease and digest your breakfast.

When combined, they change the world for good.
