“The amount of good luck coming your way depends on your willingness to act.”

Now is the operative word. Everything you put in your way is just a method of putting off the hour when you could actually be doing your dream.

The first step is to find out what you love – and don’t be practical about it. The second step is to start doing what you love immediately, in any small way possible.

Happy people have two things in common. They know exactly what they want and they feel they’re moving toward getting it.

Every time you have to make a choice about anything, think Does this go toward or away from what I want? Always choose what goes toward what you want.

The cure for sorrow is to learn something.

What you’re really supposed to be doing is whatever makes your heart sing.

A direct statement about yourself is considered objective only if it is negative. If it’s positive, it is considered subjective. And ‘objective’ means it is accurate, and ‘subjective’ means it is conceited self-delusion.

Wishing and dreaming are the beginning of all human endeavor.

A good work is a partnership between you and nature… Nature will help you every step of the way.

Real Dreams don’t require you to abandon your family, quit your job, and move to Tahiti with your paintbrush. They just require that you search your soul for that deep dream you put aside-and go for it. And watch your life light up.

You don’t need endless time and perfect conditions. Do it now. Do it today. Do it for twenty minutes and watch your heart start beating.

It’s only too late if you don’t start now.

Imaginary obstacles are insurmountable. Real ones aren’t.

Isolation is a dream killer.

Doing is a quantum leap from imagining.

Doing what you love isn’t a priviledge; it’s an obligation.

The right time is any time that one is still so lucky as to have.

I would say that I’ve been lucky. Being blessed and not really ever giving up.

Don’t try to make life a mathematics problem with yourself in the center and everything coming out equal. When you’re good, bad things can still happen. And if you’re bad, you can still be lucky.

It makes you realize how lucky you are because it could be gone tomorrow you just never know.

Individually the poor are not too tempting to thieves, for obvious reasons. Mug a banker and you might score a wallet containing a month’s rent. Mug a janitor and you will be lucky to get away with bus fare to flee the crime scene.

Taking delight in my family, my time in nature, and in the chance to do work that I find endlessly fascinating and rewarding. My smile grows even bigger when I think about how lucky I am to have such delights be part of my everyday life.

I’m very lucky; I have a lot of knowledge. My favorite band is The Beatles, so a lot of inspiration for my music comes from them, too.

We feel a thousand miseries till we are lucky enough to feel misery.
