Before you wonder "Am I doing things right?" wonder "Am I doing the right things?"

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

Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.

When we love each other we are immortal and indestructible like the heartbeat and the rain and the wind.

I've always wanted to be in the health and wellness business. I try to encourage people to live a healthy lifestyle.

One does not accumulate but eliminate. It is not daily increase but daily decrease. The height of cultivation always runs to simplicity.

You are treading the path to your greatness: no one shall follow you here! Your passage has effaced the path behind you, and above that path stands written: Impossibility.

When I was younger and more tortured, I wanted to suffer in my roles.

I wholeheartedly encourage any steps in the right direction, in whatever time frame works for the person on the path.

As a child I wanted to be a grown-up. I wanted to know everything - not that I like to talk about it. I hate intellectual conversation with intellectuals because I only care about my opinion.

You must look into people, as well as at them.

Writing songs is like capturing birds without killing them. Sometimes you end up with nothing but a mouthful of feathers.

Know and believe in yourself and what others think won't disturb you.
