My goal is always, how do you get better?
The thrill is to keep envisioning what can be.
Everything in your world is created by what you think.
I don't go tanning anymore because Obama put a 10 percent tax on tanning. I feel like he did that intentionally for us, like McCain would never put a 10 percent tax on tanning because he's pale and he would probably wanna be tanned.
Life has taught me to just be the best I can be.
The best way to look at aging is to see it as an opportunity to leave what didn't work behind and step boldly into a brand new future.
I'm one of those people who lives for the moment. If you concern yourself with what's going to happen a year from now, or five years from now, you defuse the moment. Whatever comes, comes. For this time I enjoy the ascent. I don't worry about anything except getting thinner thighs.
Often intuition will direct you. If it feels right, it's probably right.

No matter how diligent or persistent you have been, there is not one of us who made this journey toward success by ourselves.

There's a group of 12 oak trees on my property in California that I call 'my disciples.' Their branches form a canopy over the ground, and I sit underneath them for inspiration.
