Peace of mind arrives the moment you come to peace with the contents of your mind.

Your words, thoughts, intentions and actions today are your best hope, comfort, building blocks and insurance for tomorrow. But it is now alone that is guaranteed _ tomorrow is a dream, a maybe a potential gift. It__ now - not tomorrow - where happiness and fulfilment live...awaiting your discovery. It__ all this that will make each extra day that may arrive extra special and rich.

Live your life, sing your song. Not full of expectations. Not for the ovations. But for the joy of it.

Love is the only answer to every question. It is the only thing that will serve you in every situation. It is the route and the destination. It is medication, liberation and should be at the heart of and expression of your vocation.

You won't ever build your confidence from a perception of lack. For it grows and evolves from realising who you are and what you already have.

Role models are only of limited use. For no-one is as important, potentially powerful and as key in your life and world as you.

The world is already yours - why try to conquer it?

There's no alternative to being yourself. Accept it, honour it, value it - and get on with it.

People will ask you the question 'how is life treating you?' But my question is 'how are you treating life?' On that your happiness rests

Choose your counsel, company and companions wisely: beware seeking wise words of advice from a fool or expecting informed opinions or decisions from the ignorant.

On any day - in any given event - you have to believe in yourself and back yourself 100%

Success is meaningless without fulfilment - both begin within

Communication is the breath or death of any relationship

There is no question- love is the answer

Our abilities and possibilities are at one and the same time very limited and quite infinite dependent on the depth of our relationship to our 'self', others and life itself.

Stop looking outside or at others for that which you seek of yourself.

Inspiration may come from many places but motivation - the love of life, daily drive and the will to thrive - that must come from you from within

While you'll feel compelled to charge forward it's often a gentle step back that will reveal to you where you and what you truly seek.
