An awareness of one's mortality can lead you to wake up and live an authentic, meaningful life.

The scariest thought in the world is that someday I'll wake up and realize I've been sleepwalking through my life: underappreciating the people I love, making the same hurtful mistakes over and over, a slave to neuroses, fear, and the habitual.

I woke up many mornings not knowing what I'd done the night before. I'm amazed I'm not dead.

I mean, I'm 48 years old and I've been through a lot in my life - you know, loss, whether it be death, illness, separation. I mean, the failed expectations... We all have dreams.

Those who have compared our life to a dream were right... we were sleeping wake, and waking sleep.

I'm a big fan of dreams. Unfortunately, dreams are our first casualty in life - people seem to give them up, quicker than anything, for a 'reality.'

The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments.

We all keep dreaming, and luckily, dreams come true.

Toil, feel, think, hope; you will be sure to dream enough before you die, without arranging for it.

I nearly died three times in 2008, and when you go through those experiences, you realize that you're blessed every day that you wake up. My world changed, my life changed, and with the help of my wife Jane, I was able to survive.
