Nothing adventured, nothing attained.

Life is not a struggle. It's a wiggle.

While goals are chosen, a purpose is discovered. Our purpose is something we have been doing all along, and will continue to do, regardless of circumstances, until the day we die.

We can consciously end our life almost anytime we choose. This ability is an endowment, like laughing and blushing, given to no other animal... in any given moment, by not exercising the option of suicide, we are choosing to live.

One of the great joys of life is creativity. Information goes in, gets shuffled about, and comes out in new and interesting ways.

Choosing what you want to do, and when to do it, is an act of creation.

Do what you love and the necessary resources will follow.

Comfort zones are most often expanded through discomfort.

As the world gets dumber and dumber, I feel more and more at home.

To avoid situations in which you might make mistakes may be the biggest mistake of all.

What's more important-your goal, or others' opinions of your goal?

We are all, right now, living the life we choose.

Fear is something to be moved through, not something to be turned from.

Mistakes show us what we need to learn.

It's your life. Live it with people who are alive. It tends to be contagious.

The news media are, for the most part, the bringers of bad news... and it's not entirely the media's fault, bad news gets higher ratings and sells more papers than good news.

Definition of a victim: a person to whom life happens.

If you change the belief first, changing the action is easier.

To overcome a fear, here's all you have to do: realize the fear is there, and do the action you fear anyway.

Learn to ask for what you want. The worst people can do is not give you what you ask for which is precisely where you were before you asked.
