You were not meant for a mundane or mediocre life!

The road to success is always under construction.

I want to be in a relationship where you telling me you love me is just a ceremonious validation of what you already show me.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive—to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love—then make that day count!

If you're not comfortable enough with yourself or with your own truth when entering a relationship, then you're not ready for that relationship.

It is only with true love and compassion that we can begin to mend what is broken in the world. It is these two blessed things that can begin to heal all broken hearts.

When you say "I" and "my" too much, you lose the capacity to understand the "we" and "our".

Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don't.

At the end of the day, let there be no excuses, no explanations, no regrets.

You must learn to let go. Release the stress. You were never in control anyway.

It is important that we forgive ourselves for making mistakes. We need to learn from our errors and move on.

Is Life itself a dream, I wonder?

Control your anger before it controls you

I've had maybe 20 jobs, big and small, and I've never hated any of them. At the same time, the moment the learning curve flattened, I was out of there.

My dad took on every job he could get. He worked like mad. But then, at some point, he had saved up enough to open his first pub.

The past has always been the handmaid of authority.

I love my snaggle fangs. They give me character and character is sexy. People comment, but the only person who ever told me to fix them was my mom ... I just went my own way, like daughters do.

I owe everything that I have done to the fact that I am very much at ease being alone.

Super-ambitious goals tend to be unifying and energizing to people; but only if they believe there's a chance of success.

I have to live my life, and it is the only one I’ll ever have.
