The word 'courage,' one of my favorite words, the root or the etymology of that word is 'cour,' which means heart. I think true courage is actually following your heart and not getting or succumbing to what other people's definition of what your life should be. Live your life.
I champion the idea of being more conscious. I call it being an active architect of your own life. Building your life like an architect builds a structure.
Part of getting other people to focus on the future rather than being myopically focused on the present is about living that way yourself and showing that you can make choices today that are about future outcomes and still be having a great time into the present and enjoying your life.
I believe we all have the capacity to be masters of many things, and there's nothing that we can't do. You can be a great actor and also be a great writer. There's so many things that all of us have the capacity to do. But somehow, life tries to convince us that we'd be lucky to do even one thing well, and I disagree.
The wealth cure is looking at your life step by step - making a diagnosis and saying, 'Am I using money or is money using me?'
You deserve a great life. I want to see you become unreasonably happy. And you can. And you will.
You never know what's going on in someone's life. You never know what's really going on behind what they present.
Money is important. It is an important resource to have to help us build the life we want, but we overvalue it.
You're writing your life as you go - the question becomes, how do you want to write your life?
Health is actually the foundational tool to help us live the life.
You can live a healthy lifestyle and do the best to be aware of your body and conscious, and thats what I attempt to do.
If you can't get excited about living life, then what are you doing?
We all have inherited so many types of fears, whether they're race-based, culture-based, gender-based, age-based, family-based. And then we get comfortable with these fears.
My undergraduate studies at Brown and graduate degrees from Harvard prepared me for a multifaceted career as an actor, entrepreneur and philanthropist.
