Life is surreal. When you step back and really take a look at it, the irony is absolute.

There will be a time when love is beautiful and passionate and nothing else will exist but you and the person you love, and a time when love hurts so badly that you will wish you wouldn't wake up. I say this. Always, always, always approach love with the heart of the angel you were born with.

To love without ownership, to love with total trust and faith in that very love, to love with the same faith you have that your heart will keep beating moments from now, that is the ultimate love.

As long as you're alive you're going to be thrown a few obstacles. It's what you do with them that matters.

The most important part of life is in fact, the journey, and it's happening right now.

In life there is but one career path that will fulfill. The path itself of joy. Make your heart sing. Anything else is a waste of life.

Sam came to a fork in the road. One sign said 'SLAMMED DOORS, Path of Discouragement. Continue doing what you're doing.' The other sign said 'OPEN DOORS, Path of Change. Do something different.' And so he was presented with a choice. It was a "no-brainer" to choose the path of "OPEN DOORS." But the question became, 'What to do different?

Sometimes what may appear as unfair, may actually be a huge favor from the Universe, pushing you in the right direction to live your dreams.

You never know who you're talking to. Don't judge. Remember people who you encounter are put in your path for a reason.

Anything is possible with laughter. If you can laugh out loud, especially at a life of mistakes, you will come out unscathed.

Sometimes you have to "play the part" to become the part.

I take my integrity seriously, but make no mistake, I do not rely on others to do the same.

Choose your path or others may choose it for you.

People who believe in their own potential, and who are driven by purpose, rarely have time to talk about it.

When you get clear on your own boundaries, you will find it easy to decide what you're willing to accept in your career.

Before you get a bad attitude by drawing recurring conclusions to new situation based on past experiences, be sure to look for the possibilities.

Those things that are not within your control can often be the very things that set you free.

Only your life's work , driven by passion, will last forever.
