If you are living out of a sense of obligation you are slave.

Everything you do is based on the choices you make. It's not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, an argument or your age that is to blame. You and only you are responsible for every decision and choice you make. Period.

I think we have to go through everything we go through in our life, and I believe my purpose in life was to teach self-reliance. So I had the experience of relying on myself very early in life in order to have that knowing, because otherwise I would've just read about it. I think of it now as a great advantage that I had. It certainly taught me to rely upon myself at a very young age. And that's what I've been teaching since I was a little boy.

We become what we think about all day long. The qustion is, "What do you think about?"

If I ran a retail store, which I have done in my life, I would go into it from a place of "I am thrilled to be here, and I am honored to be able to serve other people."

Look into a mirror, make eye contact with yourself, and say "I love me" as many times as possible during the day.

If you're going to follow your bliss and make a difference in the world, you'll soon learn that you can't follow the herd.
