I feel as a culture we are ready to look at the truth and address it head on. I think it’s the power of how connected we all are with the digital revolution – there’s no where you can go without seeing the truth. Although it’s upsetting because we can’t believe at this day and age at this time it’s still that blatantly injustice in the world. I think it’s very empowering to do something about it and that’s the reason why I create the We Are Here movement out of my frustration about the apathy in society.

One thing a lot of people don’t know about me is that I’m a driver… I love driving.. I’m driven.

My wish for us all is to love and adore ourselves just as much as we do everyone else!

I’m taking more time to listen to myself. It’s allowed me to be an aggressive bad ass, calling it as I see it

The amount of people in this world who are here to do something great far outweighs the rest.

I constantly ask myself if what I’m doing is for me or somebody else. It’s tripping me out!

The opposite of the religious fanatic is not the fanatical atheist but the gentle cynic who cares not whether there is a god or not.

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

I’ve been up the mountain and I had a choice. Should I come down? So I came down. God said, Okay, you’ve been up on the mountain, now you go down. You’re on your own, free. Check in later, but now you’re on your own.

What is a soul? It’s like electricity – we don’t really know what it is, but it’s a force that can light a room.

I have too much respect for the idea of God to make it responsible for such an absurd world.

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.

To be like Christ is to be a Christian.

Truth, in matters of religion, is simply the opinion that has survived.

Thou shalt not commit adultry is a command which makes no distinction between the following persons. They are all required to obey it: children at birth. Children in the cradle. School children. Youths and maidens. Fresh adults. Older ones. Men and women of 40. Of 50. Of 60. Of 70. Of 80. Of 100. The command does not distribute its burden equally, and cannot. It is not hard upon the three sets of children.

I believe a man is better anchored who has a belief in the Supreme Being.

In order to fulfill yourself, you have to forget yourself. In order to find yourself, you have to lose yourself.

Tao in the world is like a river flowing home to the sea.

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.

Don’t rush anything. When the time is right, it’ll happen.

Why is the tao so valuable? Because it is everywhere, and everyone can use it. This is why those who seek will find.
