    “No person is free who is not master of himself.” ~ Epictetus

      “It used to be that the goal was to get rich and retire by the age of 40.  Now the goal is to get rich and work until you’re 90.  Nearly half of all individuals who earn $750,000 per year or more say they will never retire, or if they do, the earliest they would consider it is age 70.” ~ Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game

        “The real joy in life comes from finding your true purpose and aligning it with what you do every single day.” ~ Tony Robbins, Money: Master the Game

          “Is it true that money cannot buy happiness? Yes, it is true.  Money cannot buy happiness—but it makes misery more comfortable.  That’s why I am not against money—I am all for it.  It is better to be comfortably miserable than uncomfortably miserable.  I have lived in poverty and I have lived in richness, and believe me: Richness is far better than poverty.  I want you to be rich in every possible way—material, psychological, spiritual.  I want you to live the richest life that has ever been lived on the earth.” ~ Osho, Fame, Fortune, and Ambition

            “Live in the moment for the sheer joy of living it.  Then each moment has the quality of an orgasm.  Yes, it is orgasmic.  This is how my people have to live, with no ‘should,’ with no ‘ought,’ with no ‘must,’ with no commandment.  You are not here to become martyrs; you are here to enjoy life in its fullness.  And the only way to live, love, enjoy, is to forget the future.  It exists not.” ~ Osho, Fame, Fortune, and Ambition

              “[The] will to power is the greatest sickness man has suffered from.  And all our educational systems, all our religions, all our cultures and societies are in absolute support of this sickness. One has to understand that this tremendous urge to power is arising from an emptiness within you.  A man who is not power-oriented is fulfilled, contented, at ease, at home as he is.  His very being is an immense gratitude to existence; nothing more is to be asked.  Whatever has been given to you, you had never asked for.  It is a sheer gift out of the abundance of existence.” ~ Osho, Fame, Fortune, and Ambition

                “In the ultimate analysis of life, name and fame are just irrelevant.  All that matters in the final reckoning is how you lived each moment of your life.  Was it a joy, was it a celebration?  In small things, were you happy?  Taking a bath, sipping tea, cleaning the floor, roaming around the garden, planting trees, talking to a friend, or sitting silently with your beloved, or looking at the moon, or just listening to the birds—were you happy in all these moments?  Was each moment a transformed moment of luminous happiness, was it radiant with joy?  That’s what matters.” ~ Osho, Fame, Fortune, and Ambition

                  “People go on postponing everything that is meaningful.  Tomorrow they will laugh; today, money has to be gathered… more money, more power, more things, more gadgets.  Tomorrow they will love; today there is no time.  But tomorrow never comes, and one day they find themselves burdened with all kinds of gadgets, burdened with money.  They have come to the top of the ladder, and there is nowhere to go except to jump in a lake.” ~ Osho, Fame, Fortune, and Ambition
