“My life is rich because I have those kinds of people in my life.”

Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned. Mistake overturned so I call it a lesson learned. My soul has returned so I call it a lesson learned…another lesson learned.

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.

The most important thing is to be proud of the work that you put into something, and put the ego aside.

I pray to give thanks and to recognize all the good things that are in my life even during times of great change, confusion, or frustration.

I’ve stepped more into my womanhood, I’m a mother now, I’m having a beautiful relationship as a wife and as a friend.

You’re stronger, and you’re better, and you’re ready for whatever.

Why give up before we try?

Be driven, be focused, but enjoy every moment, because it only happens once.

No one will take care of you if you don’t take care of yourself.

Prayer keeps me centered.

Early on in my career, I was more closed off in every way. I thought I was protecting myself; instead, I was robbing myself of all I could learn and experience.

I don’t dream – only if I’m uncomfortable or I’m going through something.

You can’t really compare people. That’s one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned, because comparing yourself to someone else really stops you from being who you are.

If I know everything around the situation, all the facts, I feel like I can handle just about anything.

I find that the love we share fills me up and makes me see and appreciate life in a different way.

It’s karma, baby. And it goes around.

Learn to light a candle in the darkest moments of someone’s life. Be the light that helps others see; it is what gives life its deepest significance.

The life of the dead is placed on the memories of the living. The love you gave in life keeps people alive beyond their time. Anyone who was given love will always live on in another’s heart.

For the whole life of a philosopher is, as the same philosopher says, a meditation on death.

Old age: the crown of life, our play’s last act.

Stop comparing yourself to other people, just choose to be happy and live your own life.

Your hardest times often lead to the greatest moments of your life. Keep going. Tough situations build strong people in the end.

The busier we are, the more acutely we feel that we live, the more conscious we are of life.

A life without thinking is quite possible; it then fails to develop its own essence – it is not merely meaningless; it is not fully alive. Unthinking men are like sleepwalkers
