There is no greater force for change than people inspired to live a better life.

The universe is so well balanced that the mere fact that you have a problem also serves as a sign that there is a solution.

Only insecure boys will belittle a woman. The greatest way to "man-up" is to empower women.

The tragic brilliance of politics and control is found in the ability to get the masses arguing over which poison they should drink.

You'll drive yourself crazy trying to control something that isn't yours to control. Let go. Free yourself. Allow your mind and energy to focus on something positive_ to build something beautiful.

Resolutions: So many will fail; NOT because they didn't set goals, but because they didn't set behaviors.

Take accountability... Blame is the water in which many dreams and relationships drown.

Maybe we feel empty because we spend so much of our own time watching other people live their lives, chase their dreams, express their love, and navigate their relationships. And when we turn off our TV or put down our phone... We've nourished nothing of our own.

When civility is illusory, war is inevitable.

There are some people whose turbulent waves of behaviors will drown you no matter how well you think you can swim.

It's amazing to me how hard people work to maintain a life they hate.

I find the best way to love someone is not to change them, but instead, help them reveal the greatest version of themselves.

Get out of your own way... What we call 'lack of willpower' is actually just losing an argument with an outdated version of yourself.

What was my path to success? Well, there were some steps forward, some back, some to the side... maybe it wasn't a path, but more of a dance.

When you pursue your goals with passion, you will attract people who love you; but you__l also attract haters. I__ okay with that; I welcome it. I don__ want to live life as a spectator. I__e learned that if no one is cheering you on and/or booing you; it means you're not in the game.

There are some people who will surprise you with their perseverance... People who survive through the tears... Strong spirits who prove you wrong if you make the mistake of betting against them.

Don__ try to fit me in a box_ My life is not one dimensional. I__ the summer breeze and the hurricane_ I__ the serene lake and the raging ocean_ I__ the gentle poet and the rough warrior_ I can build and I can destroy... I can romance and I can ravage... I can be wise and I can be silly... I can and WILL be everything that the length, depth, and breadth of life will allow... KNOW THIS! Your labels don__ limit me_ they limit your experience of me. Don__ confuse the two.

I will not play it safe!I want to experience the length, depth, and breadth of life. I'm not just here for the victories... I'm here for the scars.
