“A lot of people don’t know what they want or they want much less than they deserve.”

Temporary feelings of regret are a normal part of the mourning process. This helps us retrieve our lost dreams. If we hold on to regret, we risk trapping ourselves in a prison of unrealized dreams from which it is difficult to escape.

I have experienced a lifetime of real moments, and many of them were happy moments.

The obstacles in our path are not blocking us-they are redirecting us. Their purpose is not to interfere with our happiness; it is to point us toward new routes to our happiness, new possibilities, new doorways.

Love is the magician of the universe. It creates everything out of nothing.

No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.

Love’s greatest gift is its ability to make everything it touches sacred.

What allows us, as human beings, to psychologically survive life on earth, with all of its pain, drama, and challenges, is a sense of purpose and meaning

There has never been, and never again will be a human being like you. There is nothing ordinary about you. If you feel ordinary, it is because you have chosen to hide the extraordinary parts of yourself from the world.

The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It’s a choice you make on your wedding day, and over and over again and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband.

Silence and solitude are confrontational. They plunge us instantly into the truth.

Happiness is not an acquisition – it is a skill. We do not experience happiness because of what we get. We experience happiness because of how we live each moment.

I invite people to examine their lives without negativity, knowing that it’s scary, but that not doing it is even scarier.

Women need real moments of solitude and self reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away.

When will you know you have enough, and what will you do then?

There’s a word for what that takes and the word is not magic, the word is guts.

In politics, guts is all.
