Being impatient is rocket fuel for success. I have seen very few patient successful people. Most are impatient and always ready to move!

I felt like a disappointment. I believed I had let my family down. Clearly, I was a screw-up. I couldn__ do anything right. It seemed I hurt people without even trying. I didn__ know better, but obviously, that proved I was stupid. I was so blind to what I was saying _. These were the kinds of thoughts going through my mind. And that was my first experience with shame. Huge difference.

Be patient with yourself.The journey of life requires alot of patient, persistence and perseverance.

God has given us all our unique story. It's not one that flows easily or pretty, but the story is ours! Find it and treasure it...

The wisdom of hindsight would reveal that I had no clue how to find myself, no idea how to love myself, and no ability to be myself. Mix all of those three dilemmas, and you__e created a cocktail that will knock anyone out. Even though I couldn__ name those specific issues that night, I did own where I was to the best of my ability. That__ often all we can do in a crisis. So that night, I looked myself in the eyes and said, __t isn__ supposed to be this way.

Don't quit because it's hard. Quit because it's not hard enough

Accomplishment of your dreams demand personal sacrifice and hard work.

I believe in beauty. I believe in goodness. I believe in the power of turning: the other cheek, time, curve of the earth.

Jesus doesn__ make up the difference. Jesus makes all the difference. Grace is not about filling gaps. It is about filling us.

Instead of going back and looking at the question, people tinker with the solution, trying to make it fit."-Claude Legrande..."The consequences of failing to do that [in our personal lives] are the same as those facing businesses - even more dire, perhaps, because what's being squandered isn't just the potential for profits. It's the potential for happiness. We miss opportunities to innovate and to make positive changes in our lives when we aren't willing to question ourselves.

There comes a point when you begin to connect to the dots, when the chosen paths begin to mean something, when the picture starts to reveal itself. It is probably not at all what you had envisioned, but somewhere deep inside, perhaps you always knew. The journey was there for a reason. Its was there for you and for the others that have traveled along with you. The strength and comfort that comes from that awareness is amazing and beyond words. Once experienced, it becomes the biggest part of you. So let it unfold. Let your life reveal its lessons. Follow your heart, as it will not lead you astray. Find your passion and let its energy run through you in ways you have never experienced. With that, your real life will begin.

I believe that there is something in all of us that is seeking expression, that wants to be heard, that wants to be accepted and respected and loved. We each express ourselves in different ways - through manipulation or domination, through receiving and giving pain, through crying, through loving, through giving hope and inspiration to others. We are all seeking the same thing - expression of who we are and what we want from this life.

Amidst all the criticisms and prejudgement in life, we should strive to do good in return; however small, instead of just turning your back against the world.

Freedom is something that you give yourself and no one else can ever take away.

The shortest and the hardest journey to make is the inner one.

Acts of love, for me, are leaps of bravery.

Growth usually starts with awareness. Something happens in your life and you realize there is something to do about it. Sometimes it is when you become exhausted of your old habits where you then observe all the dislikes in your life and you begin living more consciously. You realize that you have a choice in every matter. That your life becomes that which you focus on and that at any time you can assert your personal will power to become what you want to be and not become what the outside circumstances may attempt to mold you into.

I am so often the architect of my own pain and the engineer of my own failures.
