If you’re living your life in fear, then you’re just not living.

Every life has a purpose. Share your story and you may help someone find their own.

Your imperfections make you beautiful, they make you who you are.

If I help one person out with getting through the struggles that I’ve had, then I’ve done my job on this planet and this life.

Do what makes you happy, and don’t care what others think.

You have the capability to change your life all with a simple shift in perspective.

Whatever you dream of doing one day, don’t give up on that dream because you never know where it can take you.

The whole point of being in this business and being blessed and being successful is that you’re able to do things for your friends or your family, which means that they can have something special in their lives, too.

Compassion for ourselves gives rise to the power to transform resentment into forgiveness, hatred into friendliness, and fear into respect for all beings.

Suffering is the very best gift He has to give us. He gives it only to His chosen friends.

People are fond of using the its not what you know, its who you know adage as an excuse for inaction, as if all successful people are born with powerful friends. Nonsense.
