“Passion is not a reaction to an external event. It is the left over emotions from the internal battles you have won that propels you forward.”

“A substantial amount of research over the past decade has reinforced the idea that although internal happiness can deviate from its "resting state" in reaction to life events, it usually returns toward its baseline over time.”

“There are two big forces at work, external and internal. We have very little control over external forces such as tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, disasters, illness and pain. What really matters is the internal force. How do I respond to those disasters? Over that I have complete control.”

“In battle, if you you make your opponent flinch, you have already won.”

“You cannot be who and what you are unless you have a lifestyle, both internally and externally, that is designed to support that definition of self.”

“Eden is within you; it is your life's garden. It is from this internal garden that you experience your external life. If you see weeds, pluck them!”
