You are responsible for the energy that you create for yourself, and you're responsible for the energy that you bring to others.

I consider the world, this Earth, to be like a school, and our life the classrooms.

Your job is not just to do what your parents say, what your teachers say, what society says, but to figure out what your heart calling is and to be led by that.

Great communication begins with connection.
