“Each one of us has the power to change the world. Shed light, and darkness disappears.”

Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you’ll start to see a big difference in your life.

You change the world by being yourself.

Bless you for your jealousy; it is a sign of empathy.

Sometimes, you want to meet somebody like yourself – who had an equally incredible life.

Experiencing sadness and anger can make you feel more creative, and by being creative, you can get beyond your pain or negativity.

It’s a waste of time to think that if you coloured a painting red what might have happened if you painted it black.

There is nothing so stable as change.

We cannot idealize technology. Technology is only and always the reflection of our own imagination, and its uses must be conditioned by our own values. Technology can help cure diseases, but we can prevent a lot of diseases by old-fashioned changes in behavior.

I dare you to watch this and not be changed.

Look around you. Everything changes. Everything on this earth is in a continuous state of evolving, refining, improving, adapting, enhancing…changing. You were not put on this earth to remain stagnant.

Smile at strangers and you just might change a life.

Let go of your plans. The first hour of your morning belongs to God. Tackle the day’s work that he charges you with, and he will give you the power to accomplish it.

Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.

Money doesn’t change you; it reveals who you are when you no longer have to be nice.
