“If you don't like the scene you're in, if you're unhappy, if you're lonely, if you don't feel that things are happening, change your scene. Paint a new backdrop.”

“The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.”

“Don't hold to anger, hurt or pain. They steal your energy and keep you from love.”

“You can only give away what you have ... If you have love, you can give it. If you don't have it, you don't have it to give.”

“Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.”

“A wonderful realization will be the day you realize that you are unique in all the world. There is nothing that is an accident. You are a special combination for a purpose -- and don't let them tell you otherwise, even if they tell you that purpose is an illusion. (Live an illusion if you have to). You are that combination so that you can do what is essential for you to do. Don't ever believe that you have nothing to contribute. The world is an incredibly unfulfilled tapestry. And only you can fulfill that tiny space that is yours.”

“The easiest thing in the world is to be what you are, what you feel. The hardest thing to be is what other people want you to be.”
