Everyday do something in relation to everything that’s important to you.

There is no road less travelled than the one that leads into the sea. But the waves will always take you to where you need to be.

The inward journey is about finding your own fullness, something that no one else can take away.

You can only succeed. You cannot fail. Failure is impossible; it is an illusion. Nothing is a failure. Nothing. Everything moves the human story, and hence the process of evolution, forward. Everything advances you on your journey.
