Then you can enjoy a lifelong love affair that brings you the richest fulfillment from inside out.

You have within you right now, everything you need to deal with whatever the world can throw at you.

Today you are you! That is truer than true!

There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.

The things we hate about ourselves aren’t more real than things we like about ourselves.

You are the guy who’ll decide where to go.

It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.
