I was broke into my forties.

Being cool was always very important to me, but I decided to get rich, so I went for it.

When I meditate, I can feel an energy that is much bigger than me but is also part of me, and it's a very powerful energy.

Technology gets a bad rap for keeping us glued to our screens instead of being present with whomever is around us, and while this can be true, it also allows us to connect with billions of people all over the world. For free.

If you hang out with a bunch of sad sacks who think the world sucks and there's no possibility, you'll start to believe that. But if you hang out with people who think everything is possible and actually do the impossible on a regular basis, you will believe that, and you will be able to achieve that.

Scare yourself every day, and do something that makes you feel totally excited and totally terrified.

My big journey was around money. I was a successful writer, I was a musician, but I was just always broke.

If your entire relationship with money is devoid of fun, money becomes something you fear and loathe rather than something to celebrate and enjoy.

Even though most of us love, love, love it when we're flush with cash, and we fantasize about what we'd do with more of it, we'd feel gross saying 'I love money' out loud.

So many people subconsciously shy away from getting rich because they believe they'll be judged, they'll lose the people they love, they believe that desiring money is a bad thing, money is the root of all evil, etc.

We humans can get used to anything. It really is remarkable. The problem is that we often use this glorious ability of ours to stay stuck in mediocrity. Oh, the years we waste adapting to lousy marriages, soul-sucking jobs, being friends with people who are rude to waitresses.

People love to tell you what you should and shouldn't want, regardless of what you have to say about it.
