“Better yourself. Don’t belittle yourself.”

Give yourself time to rest + heal + then rise.

Do not settle in the dirt. Get up and make something from it.

Kind people aren’t doormats.

Boundaries aren’t walls to keep people out, they are tools to let the right energy in.

We heal in a community, take my hand and I’ll take yours.

You don’t need to go far to find beauty. – you just need to start seeing yourself.

Distressed but not defeated.

It’s okay to know what you want, it’s equally okay to be fighting it out well.

Mistakes happen to refine us, not define us.

Things do not have to be shiny and loud, to be important.

Don’t rob the world of who you are by trying to be someone else.

We grow by being present, not by being perfection.

Get rid of the idea that your healing is tied to someone else’s apology.

Teach boys that manhood is not determined by how often they hold back their tears.

If they don’t value you, someone else will.

Growth often looks like out growing old patterns and good people.

Have you ever felt trapped in circumstances, then discovered that the only trap was your own lack of vision, lack of courage, or failure to see that you had better options?

Allow the opposition to make you better.

No one sells a song better than the person that wrote it.

Ask for what you want, but be willing to take what God gives you. It may be better than what you asked for.

For better or worse, we all felt something together for once.

Believe in the power of your own voice. The more noise you make, the more accountability you demand from your leaders, the more our world will change for the better.

I compete only with myself, and I try to become a better human being. This is my goal.

It is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust.
