We're all looking for the highest, fullest expression of ourselves as a human being.
What I know is, if you do work that you love, and work that fulfills you, the rest will come. I truly believe the reason I've been so financially successful is because my focus has never been on the money.
Knowing your deepest intention can be your guiding force in the creation of a better life.
With every failure, every crisis, every difficult time, I say - What is this here to teach me? And as soon as you get the lesson, you get to move on. If you really get the lesson, you pass and you don't have to repeat the class. My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment
I urge you to pursue preserving your personal history to allow your children and grandchildren to know who you were as a child and what your hopes and dreams were.
I believe that the only courage anybody ever needs is the courage to follow your own dreams.
To move forward you have to give back.
This past Thanksgiving, my father was at the farm, and I had all 11 dogs in the house with a father who never allowed dogs in the house. And he got up to leave the table and came back and Solomon was in his chair. And he says, "This dog is in my chair." And I said, "It's the other way around, you're sitting in his chair."
Life whispers to you all the time...from the time you wake up in the morning and with every single experience...
If I had kids, my kids would hate me ... They would have ended up on the equivalent of the Oprah show talking about me; because something in my life would have had to suffer and it would've probably been them.
If we're really committed to growth, we never stop discovering new dimensions of self and self-expression .
Right now you are one choice away from a new beginning.
The smallest change in perspective can transform a life. What tiny attitude adjustment might turn your world around?
All of life is energy and we are transmitting it at every moment.
