...whenever there is inspiration...and enthusiasm...there is a creative empowerment that goes far beyond what a mere person is capable of.

The past has no power over the present moment.

The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.

When you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities open up in your life.

When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation, change the situation or accept it, all else is madness.

Stop looking outside for scraps of pleasure or fulfillment, for validation, security, or love - you have a treasure within that is infinitely greater than anything the world can offer.

When you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life.

In today's rush we all think too much, seek too much, want too much and forget about the joy of just Being.

Don't be afraid of losing, be afraid of playing a game and not learning something.

I feel like collaboration in music has allowed me to grow musically beyond my wildest dreams.

Dress for the story that you’d like to have people know about you before you even open your mouth.

It's far easier to put your future into someone else's hands than it is to slog your way forward, owning the results as you go.

There is more to loving someone than just making yourself happy. You have to want him to be happier than you are.
