  • I guarantee you ladies and gentlemen, you are gonna have a voice that saying, "It's just no uses, it's out of control now."

  • There will be a voice telling you that "You will be wasting your time and wasting your energy and wasting your effort."

  • I say, don't listen to it. Listen to that still small voice that says: "I can do something. And I ought to do it."

  • We ought to do it.

  • Nothing can resist the will of the people.

  • That will stake even their existence on extended their purpose for good.

  • I strongly believe that...

  • that all of us have some work to do.

  • That each one of us showed up to do something, that each one of us showed up to contribute something to life.

  • And that if we don't do it, it will not be done.

  • Be the one who want to help and contribute to youth or do something for the homeless whatever you want to do.

  • If you get up in the morning out of sense of all this and decide that, "I'm the opening for the universe".

  • The life can work through and use me as a channel and as an instrument for change.

  • How will you serve the world?

  • What do they need that your talent can provide?

  • That's all you have to figure out.

  • I can tell you from experience, the effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is.

  • You are ready and able to do beautiful things in this world.

  • And after you walk through those doors today, you will only ever have two choices: love or fear.

  • Choose love and don't ever let fear turn you against your playful heart.

  • Begin to see yourself as a opening for the universe, to move through, to work through, to make a difference in life.

  • See yourself being used by life, to improve quality of life, to expand and to grow.

  • If you wait until you can do everything for everybody instead of something for somebody,

  • you'll end up doing nothing for nobody.

  • Be The change you want to see.
