“You have to identify what you care about and why you care about it. It has to be personal. It has to be something that fires you up or means something to you, or it’s not going to drive you.”

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.

Even if your family isn’t quite there for you, find the people that support you and hang on to those people and try to let go of those that try to take you down.

Business can change you, and chew you up, and spit you out, and be rid of you, and on to the next thing. That’s why it’s so important to know who you are and stand up for something.

Good food is an amazing blessing. Whenever you can sit down at a table, eat food that is extremely delicious, and are surrounded by people you love it’s: Wow, life is good.

The saddest people I’ve ever met in life are the ones who don’t care deeply about anything at all.

Consciousness is a concept that can sound esoteric, but all it really means is caring.

Better poverty without a care than wealth with its many obligations.

I don’t care about you, why you worried about me?

We will stand up for what is right, for what is fair and what is just. Health care is a right and not a privilege.

People who make you laugh, who help you when you’re in need. People who genuinely care. They are the ones worth keeping in your life. Everyone else is just passing through.

Colleagues should take care of each other, have fun, celebrate success, learn by failure, look for reasons to praise not to criticize, communicate freely and respect each other.

I want to be a jerk like the rest of my friends, and have fun, and not care about the consequences, but I just can’t now.
