“Your attitude determines your altitude. It really is true that If you think you can, you can; and if you think you can’t – you’re right.”

Never give up, because you never know if the next try is going to be the one that works.

The seeds you plant in the hearts and minds of others will be what you receive in return – 100-fold. Only sow that which you wish to receive in return. Sow good, receive good! Plant seeds daily in your Mary Kay business and your Mary Kay business will return to you.

My definition of happiness is having something to do what you love to do, someone to love, and something to look forward to.

There are two things people want more than sex and money, recognition and praise.

Real leaders aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty.

Think about it, no one can win a race in which he had given up. You can’t win a battle for which you have surrendered.

A strong beginning is a good thing only when coupled with a strong finish.

You cannot keep determined people from success. If you place stumbling blocks in their way, they will use them for stepping stones and climb to new heights.

I’ve never yet met a person who didn’t want to be appreciated.

Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. They never dare to try.

The speed of the leader is the speed of the gang.

Every person should have a lifetime self-improvement program.

God didn’t have time to create a nobody, just a somebody. I believe that each of us has God given talents within us waiting to be brought to fruition. Each person is unique and special.

Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.

Every achievement, big or small, begins in your mind.

Never rest on your laurels. Nothing wilts faster than a laurel sat upon.

This is who I am like it or not

People will always talk, so lets give them somethin’ to talk about

I know not everyone will like me, but this is who I am so if you don’t like it, tough!

My heart is full of love but please don’t get in my way.

To everyone who says this is wrong to feel like this say, ‘I was born this way baby.

I don’t like defining myself. I just am.

When I wake up in the morning, I feel like any other insecure 24-year-old girl. Then I say,’Bitch, you’re Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today.

All that ever holds somebody back, I think, is fear. For a minute I had fear. Then I went into the dressing room and shot my fear in the face.
