“Keep your head and your heart going in the right direction, and you will not have to worry about your feet.”

The people who have impacted the world didn’t live long. Martin Luther King. John F. Kennedy. These people who impact the world were not old people, but they lived so effectively that we cannot erase them from history.

Attitude creates your world and designs your destiny.

Your future is not ahead of you, it’s trapped within you.

I discovered that success has very little to do with education or race or disposition; it has more to do with principles and following those principles.

Whatever you compromise to gain, you will lose.

The greatest failure in life is being successful in the wrong assignment.

Failure is not the absence of success. Failure is the neglect of trying.

You are designed by God not to blend in, but to stand out

I went from one state of life to another state of life by obeying, understanding, and applying the principles that are laid down in the Bible.

If you cling to an experience that cannot accommodate change, this can cause you to become a victim of that change. He who worships the past will remain there.

Great leadership is not attained by pursuing greatness but by persevering through great tests.

No amount of training in leadership skills, courses in management methods, power titles, promotions, or associations can substitute for the right attitudes.

The graveyard is the richest place on the surface of the earth because there you will see the books that were not published, ideas that were not harnessed, songs that were not sung, and drama pieces that were never acted.

The shortest distance to leadership is service.

Failure is predictable if you break laws, success is predictable if you obey laws. I discovered and learned that truth when I was 14 years old. Not everyone discovers that. Some people take a lifetime to learn that.

Leadership is not about control but service. Its not about power but empowerment.

Boys, Laila came to see, treated friendship the way they treated the sun: its existence undisputed; its radiance best enjoyed, not beheld directly.

When I started, I was 23 years old directing my own music videos; I’m co-producing on my album; I’m hands-on with everything. I’m more than just a pretty boy: I’m an artist. I’m not saying I’m a hip-hop music artist, I’m an artiste.

I did not direct my life. I didn’t design it. I never made decisions. Things always came up and made them for me. That’s what life is.

If I weren’t earning $3 million a year to dunk a basketball, most people on the street would run in the other direction if they saw me coming.

I believe in the religion of Love, whatever direction its caravans may take, for Love is my religion and my faith.

I think there are multiple ways to have your voice heard. In some cases, it’s through protest and it’s through going on the nightly news and talking about or denouncing every issue on which you disagree with. Other times it is quietly and directly and candidly.

I trust that everything is always flowing effortlessly and efficiently towards the right direction.

Guidance is not attained except with knowledge and correct direction is not attained except with patience.
