Happiness comes from accepting the present situation, whether it is something you wish to savor as long as possible or change as quickly as you can. Neither is possible without acceptance as the starting point, because without acceptance you are living on the periphery of your life. There at the edges, you can't fully enjoy the good stuff or do anything about the rest.

Enjoy your food, enjoy your life.

Your mission isn't a project to check off your list. It's a commitment to which to dedicate your life.

The idea that everything is purposeful really changes the way you live. To think that everything that you do has a ripple effect, that every word that you speak, every action that you make affects other people and the planet.

Life would be very dreary if there were no magic. If the real world were only that veil of tears, I just don't think could get up in the morning.

I need a spiritual connection - I can make changes, but I can't make miracles - and I need people around me who'll support me and believe in me and tell me the truth and not let me deceive myself into avoiding the what's scary and hard and necessary.

Sometimes we get so busy pursuing our dream that we forget to notice the degree to which we're living it already.
