• It's the feeling that really creates the attraction, not just the picture or the thought. A lot of people think, “If I think the positive thoughts, or if I visualize having what I want, that will be enough.” But if you're doing that and still not feeling abundant, or feeling loving or joyful, then it doesn't create the power of the attraction.

• The spirit of the drum is something that you feel but cannot put your hands on,
  It does something to you from the inside out . . .
  It hits people in so many different ways.
  But the feeling is one that is satisfying and joyful.
  It is a feeling that makes you say to yourself, '
  I'm glad to be alive today! I'm glad to be part of this world!

• Stay positive, joyful, and optimistic in your activism, even in the face of adversity. Understand that most people continue to consume animal products because they are unaware of the hidden cost - animal cruelty - not because they are bad or apathetic. Offer information, support, and resources in a friendly and supportive manner, as few people have begun their journey toward a compassionate lifestyle by being shamed or ridiculed. Turn anger and frustration into motivation to be as effective as possible.

• It is possible to be happy and joyful most of the time. You just have to look at little children and see their natural joy. You may say that little children are free and don't have anything to worry about, but you are free too! You are free to choose worry or to choose joy, and whatever you choose will attract exactly that. Worry attracts more worry. Joy attracts more joy!

• Happiness and joy are not the same. For what does the fervent craving for joy mean? It does not mean that we wish at any cost to experience the psychic state of being joyful. We want to have reason for joy, for an unceasing joy that fills us utterly, sweeps all before it, exceeds all measure.

• The problem is, you can't tell people these things. They'll think you're crazy. And I say to myself: What can I do with this life inside me?

You have to play at being pirates ... to build cities of marble ... to laugh ... to set off firecrackers
