Every single person is a beautiful human being, and we're lucky. That's what gives you longevity. You have to love the people that you work with.
Opening to the sacred, we transform our vision of ourselves.
Your attitude to life is far more important in determining your happiness than your money, appearance, social status or talent.
Happiness can come in a single moment. And in a single moment it can go again. But a single moment does not create it. Happiness is created through countless choices made and then made again throughout a lifetime. You are its host as well as its guest. You give it form, shape, individuality, texture, tone. And what it allows you to give can change your world. Happiness can be stillness. But it isn't still. It wraps, enchants, heals, consoles, soothes, delights, calms, inspires and connects. It is on your face and in your body. It is in your life and being.

Which is why we believe.
Absolutely without firing a shot and instead of 175,000 American troops deployed overseas we now have 15,000.
There are a lot of unspoken things with me and Nimai [Larson]. We're very yin and yang, neither one of us really treads on each other's toes. She's this wizard of the rhythm world, and I know nothing about that, but I can dabble with melody and lyrics and that's something she doesn't really have any interest in. We complement each other in that way.
I want to win and I want to be in office.
