“Why give up before we try?”

Moments are so fleeting; I want to hold on to the good ones.

If we took the time to learn more about different places and people, perhaps we would have more empathy for each other.

We have the potential to help people out of poverty, out of disease, out of slavery and out of conflict. Too often we turn the other way because we think there’s nothing we can do.

Maturity and experience are part of my liberation.

Through the shake of an earthquake I will never fall. That’s how strong my love is.

The smaller you strip things down, the more you depend on the songs and yourself, as opposed to arrangements.

I really like to live my life in a low-key fashion.

I feel the presence of a higher power. I believe that what you give is what you get. It’s universal law. I believe in the power of prayer and of words. I’ve learned that when you predict that negative things will happen, they do.

There was no other path for me. I knew this was my path. I had to follow it.

I’d rather believe in my own choice and see it all go wrong than do something I’m not fully convinced of and later feel guilty about it.

I’m a very caring person.

I feel more like I’m a person who has so much to offer in different capacities that it would be a danger for me not to give myself a chance to spread my wings in all different directions.

All women are NATURALLY, bad ass!

Quiet moments recharge me.

I think we deserve people who really, really love us.

Love will come find you, just to remind you of who you are.

Karma is about shifting responsibility from heaven to yourself. In this, you become the very maker of your own destiny.

Everything that happens in the material world is essentially a certain kind of wave. If you are a good sailor, every wave is a possibility.

Old age and treachery can always overcome youth and skill.

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, you’re doing something.

You cannot be protected from the things that frighten you and hurt you, but if you identify with the part of your being that is responsible for transformation, then you are always the equal, or more than the equal of the things that frighten you.

The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.

They themselves are makers of themselves.

I am only confined by the walls I allow.
