“The most creative act you will ever undertake is the act of creating yourself.”

Language creates reality. Words have power. Speak always to create joy.

Give up being right. Instead radiate peace, harmony, love, and laughter from your heart.

The mind and the body are like parallel universes. Anything that happens in the mental universe must leave tracks in the physical one

The love you feel in life is a reflection of the love you feel in yourself.

Base your happiness on being real, not on illusions and expectations.

Life is the coexistence of all opposite values. Joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, up and down, hot and cold, here and there, light and darkness, birth and death. All experience is by contrast, and one would be meaningless without the other.

If you have your full attention in the moment, you will see only love.

No matter what the situation, remind yourself “I have a choice.”

Now is the moment that never ends.

Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet. It is a way of entering into the quiet that is already there – buried under the 50,000 thoughts the average person thinks every day.

There is a light within each of us that can never be diminished or extinguished. It can only be obscured by forgetting who we are

The Universe contains three things that cannot be destroyed; Being, Awareness and LOVE.

What you pay attention to grows. If your attention is attracted to negative situations and emotions, then they will grow in your awareness.

The purpose of life is the expansion of happiness.

The next thing you think, the next action you take, will either create a new possibility for you, or it will repeat the past.

Change your story, change your life. Basically, that’s what it is.

I like to make something beautiful when I run … it’s style. It’s doing something better than anyone else. It’s being creative.

Some people create with words or with music or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make people stop and say, ‘I’ve never seen anyone run like that before.’ It’s more than just a race, it’s a style. It’s doing something better than anyone else. It’s being creative.

I like to feel the butterflies in the stomach, I like to go home and have a restless night and wonder how I’m going to be able to accomplish this feat, get jittery. That hunger and those butterflies in the stomach are very essential for all creative people.

The creative mind is the playful mind. Philosophy is the play and dance of ideas.

It’s hard to juggle being a businessperson with being a creative person. You have to organize yourself – PR needs me for PR, and the licensing division needs me for licensing, the bridal people need me for bridal.

I am sure the next step will be the electronic image, and I hope I shall live to see it. I trust that the creative eye will continue to function, whatever technological innovations may develop.

Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours.

See every problem as an opportunity to exercise creative energy.
