Life is a mission, not a career.

I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.

To achieve goals you've never achieved before, you need to start doing things you've never done before.

The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.

Integrity is conforming reality to our words - in other words, keeping promises and fulfilling expectations.

Most of us spend too much time on what is urgent and not enough time on what is important.

Make small commitments and keep them. Be a light, not a judge. Be a model, not a critic. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.

Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.

When you really listen to another person from their point of view, and reflect back to them that understanding, it's like giving them emotional oxygen.

Improve relationships with others by assuming that they can hear everything you say about them

Mouth guard. And I think we'll start you in goal." Goal sounded like a special job. I didn't want a special job, unless that special job involved sitting on the side under a pile of blankets.

To end up with a canvas that is no less beautiful than the empty canvas is to begin with.

I don't believe in reincarnation. That's a cop-out, I know. I don't really want to be reincarnated.

It's always better to be real.
