I don't feel nearly as old as I thought I would 20 years ago. Why is that? I feel... youthful, fit, excited about being alive, and AGELESS. The benefits of being more "experienced" in life far outweighs having a few more expression lines on my face. I can't imagine a more meaningful place to stand than in the spot I am in right at this very moment.Happiness truly is the Measure of ALL THINGS.In this time of self-reflection, I've learned that happiness is 100% choice. We MUST be willing to BE HAPPY...and let go of everything that does not serve that intention. It is a privilege to be alive.Here's to us!We've overcome so much struggle, naivety and UNCERTAINTY. We've used our personal circumstances to carve out unique paths that have revealed our deepest desires. We've built a self-serving economy on OUR TERMS to support the people who we love most on this planet. We've uncovered strengths, talents and capabilities that we didn't know we had. We owned our journeys and gained wisdom far beyond our years. We demonstrated the true power of our minds, the ultimate value in our services, integrity in our businesses and undying dedication to our children.On Today's Show...We're getting deep and wise with the world's most active public philosopher, the author of the new wisdom novels The Oasis Within, and The Golden Palace.
