For me, playing simply is dribbling. For me, playing one or two touches is harder. Playing simply is the most difficult thing.

My dad was a very strong man, very stubborn as well.

With determination, you can achieve anything. Put your mind to being the best you can be and everything is possible.

Replace fear-based thinking with love-based thinking. Every time you’re making a choice, ask yourself if it’s going to cultivate the experience of unity and love or the experience of separation and stress.

To experience relationships of substance and depth requires approaching and entering into relationships with consciousness and concern for the other.
