“Can’t change what you don’t acknowledge.”

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.

When you allow a person’s words to upset you, you’re giving away your power.

Sometimes you win and sometimes you learn.

We all have a social mask, right? We put it on, we go out, put our best foot forward, our best image. But behind that social mask is a personal truth, what we really, really believe about who we are and what we’re capable of.

I’ve never eaten a taco, and I don’t plan to.

Self-acceptance was the foundation of the happiest time in your life and it was the engine that powered the train.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

You can’t change other people or (some) conditions; you can change only your reactions to them.

It’s a big, big advantage because understanding what changes we might make takes time and it takes time to work out settings and to understand everything about the new machine.

I think people are sick of trends changing every six months – not because we’re tired of them, but just for the sake of change. There is so much junk in the world: junk TV, junk movies, all those junk magazines with the same people on the cover.

I have always strenuously supported the right of every man to his own opinion, however different that opinion might be to mine. He who denies to another this right, makes a slave of himself to his present opinion, because he precludes himself the right of changing it.

Every day we are changing, every day we are dying, and yet we fancy ourselves eternal.

Beauty is transient and changes with time.

When you look at a person, any person, everyone has a story. Everyone has gone through something that has changed their life. Anxiety, depression and panic attacks are not signs of weakness. They are signs of trying to remain strong for way too long.
