“When Life Puts You in Tough Situations, Don’t Say ‘Why Me’, Say ‘Try Me’”

It’s the little things that make us who we are in the bigger world.

There are times in my life where I’ve had boyfriends or girlfriends.

If someone tells you you’re not beautiful, turn around and walk away so they can have a great view of your fabulous ass.

When you’re younger, you’re more selfish, because there’s so much self-exploration, you’re in your own mind.

It is important to ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing and what purpose it serves in the big picture.

For me the most important thing is being a really good person, and that doesn’t depend on what you do on stage, that depends on how you treat people when you’re offstage.

Always look forward and try to push pass the negativity. I think everyone’s beautiful and they deserve to be happy no matter what.

I tell people, you know, going to the club doesn’t make me a bad person, going to church doesn’t make you a good one.

I think that if you’re doing something that’s important, that’s significant in your life, it takes some of the pain away.

Life is all about having a good time.

But I don’t necessarily define my faith by going to church every Sunday.

I know what I’m doing. I know I’m shocking you.

I think there are always going to be things that you’re going to want to do. It’s about picking yourself back up and starting again.

You deal. You survive. You grow up and you build a career. And you remember these big/little hardships. They make you human.

Even the hard times are part of your life story. If you acknowledge them and move past them, they eventually add up to the experience that makes you wise.

There’s no better feeling than making somebody smile.

Love is the Extremely difficult realization that something other than oneself is real.

In the present state of the world it is difficult not to write lampoons.

Love is the extremely difficult realization that something other than oneself is real.

Meditation can be a refuge, but it is not a practice in which real life is ever excluded. The strength of mindfulness is that it enables us to hold difficult thoughts and feelings in a different way—with awareness, balance, and love

So many people come to church with a genuine desire to hear what we have to say, yet they are always going back home with the uncomfortable feeling that we are making it too difficult for them to come to Jesus.

Success and failure are both difficult to endure. Along with success come drugs, divorce, fornication, bullying, travel, meditation, medication, depression, neurosis and suicide. With failure comes failure.

It’s very hard to grow because it’s difficult to let go of the models of ourselves in which we’ve invested so heavily.

Each success only buys an admission ticket to a more difficult problem.
