Purpose

Let your joy be in your journey, not in some distant goal.

Any successful business reflects the combination of ideas joined with an important expression of love through service to other humans.

The elevation of appearance over substance, of celebrity over character, of short-term gain over lasting achievement is precisely what your generation needs to help end.

Find somebody to be successful for. Raise their hopes. Rise to their needs.

The earth couldn't afford to send any recruiters or limos to your school. It sent you rain, sunsets, ripe cherries, night blooming jasmine, and that unbelievably cute person you are dating. Take the hint.

Do not confuse dreams with wishes. Dreams are where you visualize yourself being successful at what's important to you to accomplish. Dreams build convictions because you work hard to pay the price to make sure that they come true. Wishes are hoping good things will happen to you, but there's no fire in your gut.

The most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity and not to give in to peer pressure to try to be something that you're not, to live your life as an honest and compassionate person, to contribute in some way.

A new vision of the American dream that says achieving balance in your life is more important than the balance in your checking account.

We push ourselves through the week to get to the weekend. We have become 2/7ths people, only really living 2 days out of the 7 in a week. Things can be different. We can become 7/7ths people. And thereby become whole.
