The world is nothing but my perception of it. I see only through myself. I hear only through the filter of my story.

Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it... it's just easier if you do.

Spare yourself from seeking love, approval, or appreciation-from anyone. And watch what happens in reality, just for fun.

Our job is unconditional love. The job of everyone else in our life is to push our buttons.

Peace doesn't require two people; it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.

Fear has only two causes: the thought of losing what you have or the thought of not getting what you want.

It's not the problem that causes our suffering; it's our thinking about the problem.

To live a great life, focus and do what makes you happy.

God's not afraid of a mess. He wants to do a cleaning.

Remember, that the logo is really the dot on top of the i.

I always just wanted to have enough to carry on. I never had ambitions to take over the world or be a global enterprise. But I wanted to have a strong business in order to do the main objective.

I somehow instinctively knew it would be much better to win.
