“Many of us have a need to be right. We then set out to make ourselves right by making someone else wrong. We must get right with ourselves. Once we do, we will have so much to do, we will not have time to keep track of who is wrong.”

We set the standard of how we want to be treated. Our relationships are reflections of the relationships we have with ourselves.

Sometimes you have to lose everything in order to gain yourself.

Everything we experience-no matter how unpleasant-comes into our lives to teach us something.

Everything that happens to you is a reflection of what you believe about yourself. We cannot outperform our level of self-esteem. We cannot draw to ourselves more than we think we are worth.

Change doesn’t have to be hard, and healing doesn’t have to hurt. Surely by now you know that every thing happens for a reason! There is something better awaiting you on the other side of this.

Everything you have done and been through is valuable and important. In order to be who you are, to know what you know, to be where you are in this moment, you needed to go through what you went through.

Education does not take place when you learn something you did not know before. Education is your ability to use what you have learned to be better today than you were yesterday.

Most of us know exactly what it is that creates the pain, confusion, stagnation and disruption in our lives. When we find something or someone creating in our lives that which we do not want, we must muster the courage and strength to stop it.

Love people enough to tell them the truth and respect them enough to trust that they can handle it.

Be patient when it seems things are not going right and may never be right again. Accept that what is yours will come to you in the right way at just the right moment.

Fear wears so many clever disguises it is virtually impossible to always recognize it. Fear disguises itself as the need to be somewhere else, doing something else, not knowing how to do something or not needing to do something.

Speak and live in simple sentences. Bring closure- put a period to- those experiences that you don’t want to carry on forever and ever. Use commas in those places where you’re still growing and use exclamation points at the end of every lesson.

If you don’t ask for what you need, the need will keep getting bigger.

People may not like what you do, people may not like how you do it, but these people are not living your life. You are!

When you continue to give without receiving, the only thing you are proving is that you know how to be taken advantage of.

Have the courage to be exactly who you are without apology. Admit your mistakes without beating yourself up. Release all shame! Release all guilt! You cannot live if you are hiding behind what was. Focus on what is, right now, and that is you!

The American people need a raise, and they need it now.

Do not think that love in order to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.

I feel like I inspire more people than I think I do. I just need to remember that.

Politics is not a baseball game with winners or losers. What politics is about is whether we protect the needs of millions of people in this country who are hurting.

We need a world that doesn’t view honesty as shameful.

If you ever need anything please don’t hesitate to ask someone else first.

We all need somebody to lean on.

We need people who are open to doing something with theme, something with a cartoonish twist.
