Needing nothing attracts everything.
quitter no-failure
There are no failures, only quitters
running realizing chasing
Whatever you chase will run away from you. So, stop chasing success and realize you already have it all.
records radio way
I don't like to say, Oh, this is my favorite record because there was a moment that that record made me feel a certain way. The one on the radio at the present moment could be the one that's most inspiring, because it's at that second that you're aware of "the infinite everything."
world
When you do good by the world, the world will do good by you
military real past
Whatever obstacles appear in your path, put your head down and get past them. Those obstacles aren't real. They're just God's way of testing you. He's asking you, 'Do you want to make it or not?'
new-ventures vision wheels
In my experience, there's only one thing that will always steer you toward success: That's to have a vision and to stick with it... Once I have a vision for a new venture, I'm going to ride that vision until the wheels come off.
begging
You don't need a record deal. You'll have the industry begging for you, when you build your buzz.
world
What I would do to change this planet is have everyone meditate and look inside. Then we'd have a happier, more service-oriented, less-needy world.
anxiety difficult concern
When you sit quietly and look inside, things that seem so difficult on the outside become a lot easier to digest. Concerns that might've caused a lot of anxiety just come and go.
simple entrepreneur up-to-you
It's very simple: When you're working your hardest, the world opens up to you.
military eye people
I know some people say "Keep your eyes on the prize," but I disagree. When your eyes are stuck on the prize, you're going to keep stumbling and crashing into things. If you really want to get ahead, you've got to keep your eyes focused on the path.
compassion self expression
Compassion is the ultimate expression of your highest self
morning sheep light
In the morning I stand up, scratch a little bit, then I light a candle and I meditate. Every morning. I've been meditating for maybe 20 years. I meditate so I can make choices; so I'm not a sheep all the time. So I can see better than what everyone else is doing.
