Francisco could do anything he undertook, he could do it better than anyone else, and he did it without effort. There was no boasting in his manner and consciousness, no thought of comparison.

You have little control over the world around you, but full control over the world within you.

There has never been a more urgent time than now for you to seek to maximize your potential for achieving greater balance in your life.

When your past tries to haunt you tell it you don't believe in ghosts.

Be brave and take risks… You don't have to have it all figured out to move forward.
