“We still have the opportunity to make our best choice.”

A supreme motivation to create or do something special. To win for love.

My hope is to incite that feeling of inspiration in as many other people as possible. To receive and pass along that baton to anyone willing to carry it further.

A way of practicing your approach to life that allows you to keep a healthy perspective on things.

Truly know thyself, and to thine own self be true.

Everyone (consciously or subconsciously) feels alone too – but no matter what, we’re actually ALL together.

Consistently making that best choice will add up to living your best life. Your health is the key to that.

For me, I read food labels, I seek out places to purchase the best-quality foods available to me, and I inquire about how they are produced (meats and fruits/vegetables).

Math just wasn’t my favorite. I didn’t get how important math is and how it relates to real life. That’s why I think I was turned off to it.

Have dreams/goals and never quit working toward achieving them.

The Golden Rule: Do unto others (as in people, Mother Nature) as you would have done to yourself. Truly know thyself, and to thine own self be true.

Once I got down arithmetic and a little bit of algebra, I think I checked out. As I’ve gotten older, I think there’s a lot more relation to math.

Ask anyone battling health issues – most especially, issues that could have been avoided.

I don’t need to overeat to feel satisfied. I cook with healthy oils (olive, coconut) and stay away as much as possible from overly processed foods. When I do indulge, I enjoy it. For that moment. And then I balance it with exercise.

Inspiration comes from so many things that it’s hard to define what that is or when it happens.

Because obstacles will always present themselves, the hardest obstacle of all is developing a way of living

Nothing I can be faced with that I won’t grow mentally stronger and wiser from having endured.

No one’s better than me. I’m not better than anyone. Whether it’s Eric Clapton or BB King we look straight at each other. And that keeps it real.

I have tons of regrets, but I think that’s one of the reasons that push people to create things. Out of their angst, their regret, comes the best from artists, painters and writers.

Parents try the best they can. They want the best for you. But a lot of their stuff is just their own. If you can pull yourself away from it and not always feel like they’re attacking you, then it’s easier to deal with.

The best ideas come as jokes. Make your thinking as funny as possible.

Not to be born surpasses all reckoning. The next best thing by far, when one has been born is to go back as swiftly as possible whence one came.

There is no such thing as a natural puncher. There is a natural aptitude for punching and that is different. Nobody is born the best. You have to practice and train to become the best.

No man is happy; he is at best fortunate.

Once I get onstage the tension explodes and I’m fine. I’m in another world – in a trance almost, doing what I love best, expressing myself through guitar.
