Treat yourself as if you were someone inexpressibly dear to you.

If you're going to live in the anxiety of the surface of this world, you're never going to find the depth, the source. If you want calmness, you've got to go deeper.

It gives me such hope that each one of us can contribute to make this world a better place.

My greatest life lesson has been to not wait for the opportunities to come to me. I realize how important it is to be proactive and to create the opportunities myself.
