Most of us choose avoidance instead. As a result, we don’t live up to our potential, never becoming fully ourselves.

Higher forces must be experienced directly, and that takes effort. That means you'll face the same stark choice I did: demand proof that you'll never receive, or use the tools in the face of your doubts. When I stopped thinking and focused on the tools, my reward was life changing faith.

It’s a paradox; only when you desire fear, will you be able to take action in its presence—which is what courage consists of.

Fear is almost always linked to an image you have of something terrible happening in the future. To develop courage, you have to give up this illusion of future certainty.

There’s a hidden, inner strength that you cannot find unless you push yourself through adversity.

“The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too … raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.”

The Comfort Zone is supposed to keep your life safe, but what it really does is keep your life small.

A few rare individuals refuse to live limited lives. They drive through tremendous amounts of pain—from rejections and failures to shorter moments of embarrassment and anxiety. They also handle the small, tedious pain required for personal discipline, forcing themselves to do things we all know we should do.

The more intense the pain—and the more aggressively you move into it—the more energy you’ll create.

I'm a big fan of the misunderstood, the vilified, the underdog, the breaking of myths.

The mind has great influence over the body, and maladies often have their origin there.

I am just like Dr. Armaan - fun-loving, flirtatious, and tension-free. I am serious about my work, but apart from that, I am always playing pranks on people. As a viewer, I relate more to 'Dil Mill Gayye.'

Satan would have you believe that happiness comes only as you surrender to his enticements, but one only needs to look at the shattered lives of those who violate God's laws to know why Satan is called the Father of Lies.

Trust is like a vase. Once it is broken though you can fix it the vase will never be the same again.

It's really important to me to keep growing and keep finding new things.

There are some people that will be deterred by the fact that we have nuclear weapons... But those people are the folks we can deal with anyway.

People feel that in too many ways the EU is something that is done to them, not something over which they have a say.

A car is like a mother-in-law - if you let it, it will rule your life.

You can't be partially pregnant.

Just as TurboTax simplified much of the tax process, so has the colossally scary legal process been reduced to a kinder, gentler series of mouse clicks and 'Continue' buttons by LegalZoom, the online leader that has become so prominent in its market that it's practically a generic.

My characters are fictional. I get ideas from real people, sometimes, but my characters always exist only in my head.

In Europe people don't worry about the body.

What's the difference between male and female passion? If love is a drug, what are its side effects? Rhye makes chill-out music, but it never quite lets your mind switch off.

It wasn't until I was in that world, directing shows and movies, that I realized basically my job is to give back to another generation what the generation before me gave to me.

Yet everything that touches us, me and you, takes us together like a violin's bow, which draws one voice out of two separate strings.

Sometimes I'll be sitting on Facebook at home and see all these people getting married, having kids, having that life that I was told I should have. And sometimes I feel like I'm doing something wrong. Am I the stupid one here? Am I not doing what I'm supposed to do? And that's also equally as stressful.

My life was falling apart and then to come out and play and have my best ever - 40 wickets, 250 runs... But the only reason I could do that was because of the way I thought and I think I'm pretty strong mentally. I think I am anyway, pretty strong to get over whatever it is.

My first published work was when I was 19, in 'Playgirl.' It was an odd experience but exciting.

I'm not a conventional guy. I've never been a conventional guy.

We kept my middle schooler home from school for three days before we turned in our final draft because she was so mean and so brutal at editing out all the cheesy bits. She would roll her eyes and make fun of us, and it was what we needed.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.

When you love yourself. You really know how much better you deserve. Respect the goddess who is embedded in you soul.
