"I read because I love the experience, because it is a powerful teacher of life, because it transforms me."

“Now think about every object you touch — your phone, a dish, a cup, a book, your laptop, your shirt. Imagine that each object were sacred, precious, a deeply valuable gift. Imagine that they were as valuable as your eyeballs. Now imagine treating this object with the kind of care and respect you'd treat your own eyeballs with. Would this change how you treat things?”

“The life you have left is a gift. Cherish it. Enjoy it now, to the fullest. Do what matters, now.”

“Instead of focusing on how much you can accomplish, focus on how much you can absolutely love what you’re doing.”

“The way I define happiness is being the creator of your experience, choosing to take pleasure in what you have, right now, regardless of the circumstances, while being the best you that you can be.”
