You know there's got to be a better way of life - somewhere, sometime, somehow - but you're not exactly sure what better is.

There’s so much to learn. So much to enjoy. So terribly much to be curious about. Take your life and run with it. Make a habit of being alive. This much of anything, I have learned. And am still learning.

Starting the day - Another chance to be new again.How many of us still wish for that?To be your own sunrise.To awaken like a prayer - both solemn and joyful at still being alive.

Your time is your time. Be awake to it. It's hard work to be wisely alive.

But more importantly in my book of life, it's what you can't buy with money that is often more important than what you can buy.

Sunrise - a time when all truths are still clean and enviable.

Respect both what you need to know and what you don't need to know. Respect mystery, for mystery is still needed to run the universe.

Kids. They're not tin cans or sheetrock. They're laughing machines. Wind them up and watch them go.

Money-it can buy your kids anything, but it cannot teach them love, respect, and the true value of living life without things.
