Whenever you experience stress of any kind, look into yourself and ask, In what way am I compromising my innermost values in this situation?

All things are created twice. All things. Vision is the first creation. For a house it's called the blueprint. For a life it's called a mission. For a day it's called a goal and a plan. For a parent it's called a belief in the unseen potential of a child. For all, it is the mental creation which always precedes the physical, or second, creation.

People who exercise their embryonic freedom day after day, little by little, expand that freedom. People who do not will find that it withers until they are literally 'being lived.' They are acting out scripts written by parents, associates, and society.

The key to acting with integrity is to simply stop playing the game.

Principles are guidelines for human conduct that are proven to have enduring, permanent value.

Live your life by a compass, not a clock.

Internal victories precede external victories.
