Some holiday traditions are sacred. In our house one such tradition is the annual Christmas classic cinema celebration.

Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.

Real life isn't always going to be perfect or go our way, but the recurring acknowledgement of what is working in our lives can help us not only to survive but surmount our difficulties.

One of the most important milestones we'll all hit along the way is the moment when we finally own our unique point of view and realize how priceless it is.

Our deepest wishes are whispers of our authentic selves. We must learn to respect them. We must learn to listen.

Expect to have hope rekindled. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again.

Be grateful for the home you have, knowing that at this moment, all you have is all you need.

Life is not made up of minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years, but of moments. You must experience each one before you can appreciate it.

Grace is available for each of us every day - our spiritual daily bread - but we've got to remember to ask for it with a grateful heart and not worry about whether there will be enough for tomorrow.

Every time we remember to say "thank you", we experience nothing less than heaven on earth.

Learning to live in the present moment is part of the path of joy.

The person who makes a success of living is the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. That is dedication.

Empowerment isn't a buzzword among leadership gurus. It's a proven technique where leaders give their teams the appropriate training, tools, resources, and guidance to succeed.

I don't have anything against my mom, but my family has no emotional connection to each other.

A man that can cook you a proper meal that is like a weekday meal - which I think cannot be better than in the form of a roast chicken - that's the greatest.

An editor who is a mentor, advisor, and psychiatrist. Don't kid yourself-a good editor will make your book better.

With the rise of Christianity, faith replaced thought as the bringer of immortality.

Just give the Italians a chance for drama and they take it with both hands.

It's a love story, baby, just say, Yes.

How can I stand on the ground every day and not feel its power? How can I live my life stepping on this stuff and not wonder at it?
