"Passion is a deep love for sacred activity."

"Life always begins with one step outside of your comfort zone."

"Every man has a specific skill, whether it is discovered or not, that more readily and naturally comes to him than it would to another, and his own should be sought and polished. He excels best in his niche - originality loses its authenticity in one's efforts to obtain originality."

"You can develop your talents to the highest level."

"There is a difference between talented people and gifted people.Talented people are good AT something; Gifted people ARE that something."

"We have different forms assigned to us in the school of life, different gifts imparted. All is not attractive that is good. Iron is useful, though it does not sparkle like the diamond. Gold has not the fragrance of a flower. So different persons have various modes of excellence, and we must have an eye to all."

"If you were born with the ability to change someone’s perspective or emotions, never waste that gift. It is one of the most powerful gifts God can give—the ability to influence."

"Earn Nicely, spend wisely and you will live happily."

"When you optimize your talents very well, you can pick money from people's pockets and nobody will ever get the guts to call you a thief."

"One may not always know his purpose until his only option is to monopolize in what he truly excels at. He grows weary of hearing the answer 'no' time and time again, so he turns to and cultivates, monopolizes in his one talent which others cannot possibly subdue. Then, beyond the crowds of criticism and rejection, the right people recognize his talent - among them he finds his stage."

"I like being a Baha'i who has an out-there sense of humor. God gives us talents and faculties, and making people laugh is one of mine."

"If you have a painting in you, paint. If you have a song to sing, sing. Don’t judge your creation. Just create it. Banish doubt and fear and step out of your own way if you have to. Write if you’re a writer and invent if you’re an inventor. Do what you were born to do. Only then will you know a remarkable life."

"Success means we go to sleep at night knowing that our talents and ablities were used in a way that served others."

"Sometimes your light shines so bright that it blinds people from seeing who you really are."
