“The greatest gift you can give another is the purity of your attention.”

“...when our minds are unconsciously in the future, the present disappears; it is simply not available to us. We substitute heading toward our lives for actually living.”

“Can success change the human mechanism so completely between one dawn and another? Can if make one feel taller, more alive, handsomer, uncommonly gifted and indomitably secure with the certainty that this is the way life will always be? It can and it does!”

“The greatest gift you can give anyone is your undivided attention...”

“It is better to do what you love for work, but if it is your day job that enables an unpaid passion, then your life is still sweeter. What is important is that you make time for your dreams, not whether or not you get paid for it.”

“Write. Start writing today. Start writing right now. Don’t write it right, just write it –and then make it right later. Give yourself the mental freedom to enjoy the process, because the process of writing is a long one. Be wary of “writing rules” and advice. Do it your way.”

“The reflex of fear was soon replaced with another, more useful emotion.Rage.”
