My great definition of success comes from Thoreau: "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." That always has defined my road to what you call phenomenal success. I have advanced confidently in the direction of my dreams. I have lived the life I imagined, and I have had a ball doing it.

Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.

Failing is a judgment that we humans place on a given action. Rather than judgment, substitute this attitude: You cannot fail, you can only produce results.

Real magic in relationships means an absence of judgment of others.

I've always believed that parents are not for leaning upon, but rather exist to make leaning unnecessary.

How others treat me is their path; how I react is mine.

I've always been a generous and a kind person and so on, but never, ever have I experienced that kind of love. The world just looked different to me and still does.
