Purpose

It's not whether your attitude is good or bad, but does it define your direction? People usually fall short because they're a degree or two off in attitude, and over time and distance, that can put you in a place far away from where you would like to be.

Whatever you end up doing in this life, make sure above all that it's interesting. Because most likely you're going to spend a third of the rest of your life working for a living. And if what you do bores you, that means you're going to spend a third of the rest of your life being bored.

Remember that you must make the driving force in your life, love.

Hard work does not always pay off. If you're working on the wrong thing, it doesn't matter how hard you work, nothing will ever come of it. Hard work is important — just make sure you're working on the right thing.

Life will happen to you, whether you try to guide it or not, so you might as well try to influence the outcome. You have to know what you want and you have to be willing to go after it.

The purpose in life is not to find yourself. It's to lose yourself.

Happiness is love. Full stop. The surest way to measure whether a person is happy, healthy and well is to ask: How deeply is that person enmeshed in deep passionate commitments?

You don't need to panic if you don't yet know what you want to do with your life. But you probably want to throw yourselves into circumstances where the summons will come.

Bring your own vision to your work and look for ways you can give something to the world. Inspire people. Make a difference.

The essence of leadership, when all is said and done, is the personal assumption of the moral duty to be proactive in building our future.

Passion is the thing that you find in your life that you can care about, that you can cling to, that you can invest yourself in, heart, body, and soul.

Thankfully, dreams can change. If we'd all stuck with our first dream, the world would be overrun with cowboys and princesses.
