My theory is that it’s pointless to chase love. You’ll never catch it. Focus on DOING what you love. When you’re being who you’re meant to be, you’ll find the one you’re meant to love. That way, love chases YOU! And love always wins. ❤️

Someone else’s success doesn’t subtract from yours. Celebrating with them and encouraging them won’t make you the loser and them the winner. We’re all in this together.

An album is like a book, meant to be taken as a whole. It tells a story, has its own vibe. Let’s listen to an album together every week.

Give books. Inscribe them. Just a line or two can turn a good book into a treasure. Great for any occasion.

Stay fit. Try to increase fitness every year in some way: Strength, flexibility, endurance, or a specific sport or practice. Never take your body for granted.

When you see someone in military uniform, thank them for their service. Hold the door open for them, etc. If they are behind you in line at Starbucks, pay for their coffee. At the very least, look them in the eye and smile - they’ve made a tremendous sacrifice and you should acknowledge that.

Enroll in cooking lessons. We'll need to find you someone who knows how to cook. (Don't tell mom I said that.)

Work Hard. Do your best. Keep your word. Never get too big for your britches. Trust in God. Have no fear

It's very important to me, the idea of the scale of good and bad, of beauty and suffering. I think we should do everything we can to increase the beauty and to take away from the suffering. We have to work hard to tip the scale in the direction of good.

My worst fear is that I will be unable to reach you when you’re in pain. All I want as a parent, what my whole job boils down to, is to be there when you need me. How can I help you?

Just love them. With all your might, them for who they are, and where they are. Forget about the other stuff.

When you feel like judging someone, try to resist the urge and get curious instead. There’s always a story.
