Most people's lives are a direct reflection of their peer groups.

I love my kids. But I don't give them the burden of being the source of my love.

If you are truly flexible and go until... there is really very little you can't accomplish in your lifetime.

What we do in life is determined by how we communicate to ourselves. In the modern world, the quality of life is the quality of communication.

The power of reading a great book is that you start thinking like the author. For those magical moments while you are immersed in the forests of Arden, you are William Shakespeare; while you are shipwrecked on Treasure Island, you are Robert Louis Stevenson; while you are communing with nature at Walden, you are Henry David Thoreau. You start to think like they think, feel like they feel, and use imagination as they would. Their references become your own, and you carry these with you long after you've turned the last page.

Well, I'd love to make a decision like that, but I'm not sure how I could change my life.

The most important thing is what you already do. It's being authentic. It's being curious, trying to discover gifts.
