“We teach people how to treat us.”

If you ever get started on the right path to change, there is one important precondition you have to meet. You must rid yourself of that gnawing and overpowering sense of urgency and panic that always seems to appear on the scene.

You wouldn’t worry so much about what other people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.

You’re FAT – and don’t try to sugarcoat it, because you’ll just eat that, too.

The difference between you and the person you envy, is that you settle for less.

The past is over, the future hasn’t happened yet, the only time is right now. This can be your threshold moment of change. The next year of your life is going to go by whether you’re doing something about your weight or not. Now,

You create the results in life that you believe you deserve.

If you need a miracle, be a miracle.

If you continue to do what you’ve always done, you will continue to have what you’ve always had.

Forgiveness of those who have transgressed against you, or those you love, is not about them; it is about you. It is a gift to yourself.

Hey, dummy, you might want to take the time and learn to fly before you do this again!

All begins with you surrounding yourself with the right people—the good and authentic people—and unsurrounding yourself with the wrong people. And we both know there are plenty of wrong people in this world.

It is just good practice to do a situational scan and have situational awareness when you are out in the world.

If we were all just alike, one of us wouldn’t be necessary.

You must learn that you do not have to be angry just because you have the right to be.

If emotional pain or problems have cropped up in your life, you must insist on getting closure. Closure means you don’t carry the problem or the pain. You address the issue, then you slam shut the book and put it away.

Take the high road, there’s a lot less traffic up there.

I was once afraid of people saying, “Who does she think she is?” Now I have the courage to stand and say, This is who I am.

My faith has always taught me that all people deserve to be treated equally.

You cannot shame or belittle people into changing their behaviors.

I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.

It’s a shame and a disgrace that so few people take part in the political process.

A good leader leads from the front. Don’t get stuck in the office. Get out, meet people and listen to their stories.

It is my business to know what other people do not know.

I guess some people never change. Or, they quickly change and then quickly change back.
