When you are in your heart of hearts, you can see beyond appearances.
I realised a long time ago that instrumental music speaks a lot more clearly than English, Spanish, Yiddish, Swahili, any other language. Pure melody goes outside time.
Some songs are just like tattoos for your brain... you hear them and they're affixed to you.
All music is important if it comes from the heart.
We are capable of creating miracles ourselves and the greatest miracle is to create a masterpiece of joy out of your life with no excuses. The thing I focus on is going straight to heart. I go to mine first because if I don't feel it, you're not going to feel it. I take a deep breath and remind myself that before I give it to you I have to give it to myself.
Most people don't have that willingness to break bad habits. They have a lot of excuses and they talk like victims.
There's never one sunrise the same or one sunset the same.
There is divinity in your DNA. Live your light.

The Devil is like a strainer that separates the mud from the gold.

Everything is a battlefield. If you fight with anger, you are part of the problem. If you fight with joy, you're part of the solution.
Your mind is a magnet. You don't attract what you need or what you want; you attract who you are. And I love who I am!
