“Keeping a journal of what's going on in your life is a good way to help you distill what's important and what's not.”

“There is only one important point you must keep in your mind and let it be your guide. No matter what people call you, you are just who you are. Keep to this truth. You must ask yourself how is it you want to live your life. We live and we die, this is the truth that we can only face alone. No one can help us, not even the Buddha. So consider carefully, what prevents you from living the way you want to live your life?”

“Things aren't ever what they seem to be when you first look at them. What's important is that you keep your mind wide open and try to understand what's going on from a lot of different angles.”

“What is important in your life is what you decide is important -- and this decision will indelibly create who you are”

“No matter what ever happens in your life...always keep your eyes on the prize, It will help get you through every storm,”

“For any writer who wants to keep a journal, be alive to everything, not just to what you're feeling, but also to your pets, to flowers, to what you're reading.”
