“It’s only after you’ve stepped outside your comfort zone that you begin to change, grow, and transform.”

No amount of regretting can change the past, and no amount of worrying can change the future.

Surround yourself with people who believe in your dreams, encourage your ideas, support your ambitions, and bring out the best in you.

Stop giving other people the power to control your happiness, your mind, and your life. If you don’t take control of yourself and your own life, someone else is bound to try.

To have what you have never had, you have to do what you have never done.

Integrity is doing the right thing when nobody’s watching, and doing as you say you would do.

Accept yourself, love yourself, and keep moving forward. If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down.

Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.

Being grateful does not mean that everything is necessarily good. It just means that you can accept it as a gift.

Do not fear failure but rather fear not trying.

Time doesn’t heal emotional pain, you need to learn how to let go.

Be mindful. Be grateful. Be positive. Be true. Be kind.

You are in charge of your own happiness; you don’t need to wait for other people’s permission to be happy.

Everyone you meet is a part of your journey, but not all of them are meant to stay in your life. Some people are just passing through to bring you gifts; either they’re blessings or lessons.

Until you step into the unknown, you don’t know what you’re made of.

Believe in your heart that you’re meant to live a life full of passion, purpose, magic and miracles.

The past is a place of reference, not a place of residence; the past is a place of learning, not a place of living.

This is the end. For me the beginning of life.

The cross is not the terrible end to an otherwise godfearing and happy life, but it meets us at the beginning of our communion with Christ.

My game of love has just begun, love runs from my head down to my toes. My love is pumping through my veins. Play the game, driving me insane.

I am all about new beginnings. A new grandchild, another new hairstyle, a new email account. Why not a new relationship with the press?

Political promises are much like marriage vows. They are made at the beginning of the relationship between candidate and voter, but are quickly forgotten.

I began to understand that his version of hope reached far beyond mine: It was one thing to get yourself out of a stick place, I realized. It was another thing entirely to try and get the place itself unstuck.

An idea is inevitably a coordination. It is a coming together of something that is separate or disorganized or incomplete. With an idea you begin to feel into the nature of that incompleteness.

The complexity of immigration as an issue begins with a basic human trait: we are reluctant to share.
