That really is the best part of being a dad. You remember what's important in life.

We meditate so we can see miracles unfolding. Without stillness life is a blur.

When you give without reservation, you’ll become a magnet that pulls the world toward you.

Embrace struggle... It is your greatest teacher.

Surround yourself with people who are smarter than you.

When you do good by the world, the world will do good by you

Decide that no matter what is happening around you, the sun will always be shining in your world.

Whatever you chase will run away from you. So, stop chasing success and realize you already have it all.

Don't ruin a good today by thinking of a bad yesterday, Let it go!
