“Remove the mindless distractions from your life and focus on the things and people that matter the most to you.”

Life is not a gift to be received, but rather, infinite gifts that we can give.

God is discovered entirely through creation – the brilliance of a sunset, the powerful roar of a waterfall, the symphony of sounds you hear in the heart of the forest, or the vastness of space and its countless stars.

Follow your heart to discover what makes you happy, never let go of it, never devalue anything that is beautiful, and build a life that lets you be yourself.

My religion is life, and my church is the universe.

The desire to please other people is a potent way to distract yourself from what you are feeling.

I have a lot of great distractions outside of acting.

I attribute much of my success in New York to my ability to understand and avoid unnecessary distractions.

I think when things linger, that’s when they become a distraction. I don’t want any distractions.

New clothes won’t fill the void. Money won’t make you happy. Attention won’t heal past wounds. Things won’t finally make you feel better. If it’s broken its broken. These are distractions from the real work.

Meditation does not mean just sitting quietly for five or ten minutes. It requires conscious effort. The mind has to be made calm and quiet; at the same time, it has to be vigilant so as not to allow any distracting thoughts or desires to enter.

In our world, where hundreds of things distract us from God, we have to intentionally and consistently remind ourselves of Him.

May nothing distract me from You, neither noise nor diversions. O my Master, I would so love to live with You in silence.
