“We all have been given a gift; if you have not sort it out yet, yours is stupidity.”

“When you look back on a lifetime and think of what has been given to the world by your presence, your fugitive presence, inevitably you think of your art, whatever it may be, as the gift you have made to the world in acknowledgment of the gift you have been given, which is the life itself... That work is not an expression of the desire for praise or recognition, or prizes, but the deepest manifestation of your gratitiude for the gift of life.”

“Time is a gift, given to you, given to give you the time you need, the time you need to have the time of your life. ”

“What if the beauty around us is meant as a reminder for the many gifts we have been given and our need to give thanks to them?”

“..:It is important that we excercise the gifts we have been given. It's important that we develop and live in constant discipline.Do not wrapp yourselves in this world and its bankrupt values. Live in constant renewal and transformation of your minds.Do not allow this world and mediocrity mold you in its own image.Instead, be transformed from the inside out by always renewing your mind.By doing so, you will not only master your minds, but you will have a better access to identifying your gifts and talents and make a better use of them…And with that in mind, you will not only be bless yourself,But you'll be able to bless many along the way:.”

“To be given permission to be confused -- and remain confused -- for as long as it takes would have been a huge gift.”
