“It is important allow to feel what I feel, but not to let it dictate my day or week or life.”

My goal is to never let negativity win. Of course, I am not perfect and I have my moments, as does everyone, but negativity will never have the last word.

I know Jesus is not finished with me yet.

I have to actively put effort into reminding myself of how far I’ve come so I do not only pay attention to how far I have yet to go.

Your circumstances don’t need to be okay for you to be okay.

Lord, please transform this worldly brokenness into actions that will praise you.

It wasn’t all in vain, all the lives laid to rest your sacrifice made it possible to keep fighting.

Action over worry. Action over fear. Action over anxiety!

Life has a tendency to pile problems on problems, but god steps in with his bigger and better ways.

It is not your career, your friends, not your possessions, it is your soul.

I always forget to tell myself – you are doing awesome.

Your peace doesn’t have a due date.

Lord, guide me to always see your face when I look in the mirror and not my own vanity.

Do not be afraid, for he has already conquered tomorrow.

God, I know you’ve been there. I know you’ve been there even if I didn’t feel you. I ask you open my heart up to you when I want to close it.

When the dark is near and the light is far, I will run. I will run with open arms to the light.

Lord, help me to not walk the path of anxiety or worry, but in the path you have willed for me.

That’s the beauty of sampling: taking the old sound and recreating it and making something new, or bringing back the old sounds, mixed with some heavy grooves and beats, so people can remember. “Oh, I remember that, back in the day.”

Allah causes the night and the day to succeed each other. Truly, in these things is indeed a lesson for those who have insight.

Maybe one day there will finally be an education for electronic music.

Emily Dickinson provided four or more alternates for every word; Beethoven wrestled with endings to the point of exhaustion; in our day Jerome Robbins and his lack of decision are a byword in the dance profession.

Every day has been so short, every hour so fleeting, every minute so filled with the life I love that time for me has fled on too swift a wing.

Every day has its emotional difficulties. I miss my mother whether I’m singing her music or not.

I hope there are days when you fall in love with being alive.

Some days are diamonds, some days are rocks. Some doors are opened, some roads are blocked. Sundowns are golden, then fade away. And if I never do nothing, I’ll get you back someday.
