“Our life stories are largely constructed and without mindfulness can prove destructive.”

People will ask you the question ‘how is life treating you?’ But my question is ‘how are you treating life?’ On that your happiness rests

You won’t ever build your confidence from a perception of lack. For it grows and evolves from realising who you are and what you already have.

By simple mathematics giving is key to the world you seek to live in. If I take I alone gain. If I give or share then two at least are enriched.

What people say and feel about you when you’ve left a room is precisely your job while you are in it.

We’re merely one tree with various types, shapes and sizes of leaves that all wave differently in the breeze.

The head thinks. The heart knows.

Our abilities and possibilities are at one and the same time very limited and quite infinite dependent on the depth of our relationship to our ‘self’, others and life itself.

Our life stories are at one and the same time reality, fallacy and fantasy.

While being you and truly sharing what you do will bring happiness to others, you won’t find contentment merely trying to keep others happy.

It’s not just a question of doing what you love for a living. It’s about doing what you love with love. Then your life and all be transformed.

Thoughts will lead you in circles. Silence will bring you back to your centre.

On any day – in any given event – you have to believe in yourself and back yourself 100%

If four of you are playing hide and seek you’ll only ever find the other three. For you are already right here. So what on earth is it that you’re looking for? You are the very thing that you seek.

Love is the only answer to every question. It is the only thing that will serve you in every situation. It is the route and the destination. It is medication, liberation and should be at the heart of and expression of your vocation.

Role models are only of limited use. For no-one is as important, potentially powerful and as key in your life and world as you.

Some strive to make themselves great. Others help others see and find their own greatness. It’s the latter who really enrich the world we live in

I was in tailoring business, I sold flowers on the street, I worked construction and many odd jobs.

Success is a project that’s always under construction.

To know the world, one must construct it.

Expectations are resentments under construction.

A thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.

We are trying to construct a more inclusive society. We are going to make a country in which no one is left out.

To be successful is to be helpful, caring and constructive, to make everything and everyone you touch a little bit better.

Work should be personal. For all of us. Not just for the artist and entrepreneur. Work should have meaning for the accountant, the construction worker, the technologist, the manager and the clerk.
