Whatever your situation is right now, you have played a major role in creating it. With every experience, you build your life, thought by thought, choice by choice.

Tell me, what do you know for sure?

When you know something, really know something, it tends to stand the test of time.

When you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance.

You have the choice this very moment - the only moment you have for certain.

What you put out comes back. Your base level of pleasure is determined by how you view your whole life.

I would have gone to the trouble for a friend but not for myself. For sure I need to practice what I preach and value myself more.

If your life ended tomorrow, what would you regret not doing? If this were the last day of your life, would you spend it the way you're spending today?

Who could I have become if I had finally done the things I always wanted to do?

You will die, you must live now.

You are the single biggest influence in your life.

Your journey begins with a choice to get up, step out and live fully.

A meal that brings you real joy will do more good in the long and short term than a lot of filler food that leaves you standing in your kitchen, roaming from cabinet to fridge.

All the carrots, celery and skinless chicken in the world can't give you the satisfaction of one incredible piece of chocolate if that's what you really crave.

I don't have to consume the whole thing just because it's there.

Eat food that make you thrive.

Better food is the foundation for a better life.

Be the person who will ask a cabdriver in New York City if he has any kids.

We all get the opportunity to feel wonder every day, but we've been lulled into numbness.

I want every day to be a fresh start on expanding what is possible. On experiencing joy on every level.

Insight, information, knowledge, inspiration, power: All that and more can come through a good book.

Reading opens you up. It exposes you and gives you access to anything your mind can hold. It gives you the ability to reach higher ground and keep climbing.

Trying to live in the present moment, resist projecting into the future or lamenting past mistakes, to feel the real power of now. That my friends, is the secret to a joyful life.

Healing the wounds of the past is one of the biggest and most worthwhile challenges of life. It's important to know when and how you were programmed, so you can change the program.

We are each responsible for our own lifes.

You must be fearless enough to give yourself the love you didn't receive.

Every day brings a new opportunity for your growth.

Every choice gives you a chance to pave your own road.

When you feel the earth moving, bring yourself back to the now.

When you have nothing to be ashamed of, when you know who you are and what you stand for, you stand in wisdom.

Whenever I'm faced with a difficult decision, I ask myself: What would I do if I weren't afraid of making a mistake, feeling rejected, looking foolish, or being alone?

Your deepest struggle can, if you're willing and open, produce your greatest strength.

What is this here to teach me?

Wherever you are in your journey, I hope you, too, will keep encountering challenges.

Changing the way you think about your situation is the key to improving it.

Being open to learning from challenges is the difference between succeeding and getting stuck.

Anything can be a miracle, a blessing, an opportunity if you choose to see it that way.

When you can see obstacles for what they are, you never lose faith in the path it takes to get you where you want to go.

Learning to appreciate your lessons, mistakes and setbacks as steppingstones to the future is a clear sign you're moving in the right direction.

That's where strength comes from - our ability to face resistance and walk through it.

There is no strength without challenge, adversity, resistance and often pain.

We all want to feel like we matter so somebody.

The love and approval I crave can not be found outside myself.

A lack of intimacy is not distance from someone else; it is disregard of yourself.

If you don't already know that you have worth, there's nothing your friends, your family, or your mate can say that will completely convince you of that.

Right now you're one choice away from seeing yourself as someone whose life has inherent significance - so choose to see it that way.

Look inward - the loving begins with you.

The key to any relationship is communication.

Life is better when you share it.
