“I teach people how to treat me by what I will allow.”

I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.

The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.

Seek to understand before you seek to be understood.

Trust is the glue of life. It’s the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It’s the foundational principle that holds all relationships.

Begin with the end in mind.

Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.

You can learn great things from your mistakes when you aren’t busy denying them.

I make music with no boundaries.

I think it’s important to set up that boundary of respect for your kids at a young age, so they will know, I better listen to Mommy.

Boundaries. Set them & then KEEP them.

Humans need breaks. Humans need to cry. Humans need to feel mad, sad, happy, and all the emotions in between. And humans need to have boundaries. 

Growth has taught me to apologize when i am to blame, but not to say sorry when i shouldn’t feel ashamed.
