“Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn’t stop for anybody.”

“Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.”

“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”

“I am both happy and sad at the same time, and I’m still trying to figure out how that could be.”

“The simple fact that you care, that you want to do your best, that you strive to enjoy life and love, this makes you so much more than enough.”
