To avoid short lived victories, always spend more time focusing on where you want to go in life rather than solving problems.

I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying
the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I
now enjoy.

Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.

Life is a gift and all of us who have the capacity must remember that we have the responsibility to give something back; a small but consistent commitment of time and caring can make a measurable difference in the world.

What changes your life is not learning more. What changes your life is making decisions and using your personal power and taking action.

I also remember the moment my life changed, the moment I finally said, ''I've had it! I know I'm much more than I'm demonstrating mentally, emotionally, and physically in my life'.' I made a decision in that moment which was to alter my life forever. I decided to change virtually every aspect of my life. I decided I would never again settle for less than I can be.
