• What does "living your best life" mean to you? Does it mean accumulating wealth and fulfilling all your material wants? Or, does it mean turning away from the material world in order to fully realize the gift of spirit? We often tend to think of these objectives as being mutually exclusive: material fulfillment or spiritual fulfillment, not both together.

• Es una tontería tener como único objetivo en la vida ganar dinero, acumular riqueza. Trabajo porque disfruto con lo que hago, y el hecho de que gane dinero con ello, mucho dinero, es un hecho secundario. El dinero sólo me da una gran cosa que es realmente importante, y es la libertad de no tener que preocuparme por el dinero. Me preocupan los valores, los valores morales, éticos, humanos: los míos, los de los demás, los del país, los del mundo. Tener dinero ahora me da la libertad de preocuparme por las cosas que realmente importan.
