“Ignoring your passion is like dying a slow death.”

Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life, because you become what you believe.

When you have done everything that you can do, surrender. Give yourself up to the power and energy that’s greater than yourself.

What you focus on expands, and when you focus on the goodness in your life, you create more of it.

Follow your feelings. If it feels right, move forward. If it doesn’t feel right, don’t do it.

You are responsible for your life. It doesn’t matter what your Mama did. It doesn’t matter what your Daddy didn’t do. You are responsible for your life.

You define your own life. Don’t let other people write your script.

Nobody’s journey is seamless or smooth. We all stumble. We all have setbacks. It’s just life’s way of saying, Time to change course.

I am a woman in process. I’m just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull.

No matter where you are on your journey, that’s exactly where you need to be. The next road is always ahead.

The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.

Move with the flow. Don’t fight the current. Resist nothing. Let life carry you. Don’t try to carry it.

Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you’ll have to eat them, you can swallow it well.

Whatever someone did to you in the past has no power over the present. Only you give it power.

There is no paycheck that can equal the feeling of contentment that comes from being the person you are meant to be.

Once you clarify your purpose for doing something, the way to do it becomes clear.

Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.

When Big Meech and everybody got indicted, hustling died. Keep it trill.

The Flower that once has blown forever dies.

One regret dear world, that I am determined not to have when I am lying on my deathbed is that I did not kiss you enough.

Being dead broke is the Root of all Evil.

It is futile to judge a kind deed by its motives. Kindness can become its own motive. We are made kind by being kind.

Hearts are like tapers, which at beauteous eyes Kindle a flame of love that never dies; And beauty is a flame, where hearts, like moths, Offer themselves a burning sacrifice.

Do not feel sorry for me if I am gone.

Pity the nation that has to silence its writers for speaking their minds. Pity the nation that needs to jail those who ask for justice, while communal killers, mass murderers, corporate scamsters, looters, rapists, and those who prey on the poorest of the poor, roam free.
