“Look up from what you’re doing and look around for a minute. See what a beautiful world you’re in.”

When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing – just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?

You’ve done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination.

Excellence is not a skill, it’s an attitude.

Dare to visualize a world in which your most treasured dreams have become true.

Put your energy into building what is creative, valuable and empowering. And you won’t have to constantly fight against what is destructive and draining.

If you so choose, the challenges can make you stronger. If you so choose, the disappointments can make you more determined.

It doesn’t matter how much you want. What really matters is how much you want it. The extent and complexity of the problem does not matter was much as does the willingness to solve it.

To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return.

Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.

There are plenty of difficult obstacles in your path. Don’t allow yourself to become one of them.

Your goals, minus your doubts, equal your reality.

If you so choose, even the unexpected setbacks can bring new and positive possibilities. If you so choose, you can find value and fulfillment in every circumstance.

So choose to keep your focus on that which is truly magnificent, beautiful, uplifting and joyful.

Beset by a difficult problem? Now is your chance to shine. Pick yourself up, get to work and get triumphantly through it.

Make it a habit to tell people thank you.

Every day you spend drifting away from your goals is a waste not only of that day, but also of the additional day it takes to regain lost ground.

When I was 20, I used to go around telling stories, and I knew where I was comfortable – onstage, talking, making ’em laugh and listen to the weirdest things. I liked being the center of attention.

I’m happy being around my family.

The world that you can go walk outside and walk around the block. That’s reality. The reality that’s being talked about is something else entirely.

I’ve become more advanced and I’ve enhanced my vocabulary. All around artist development.

I got more songs with Gunna than anybody – that’s like the only person who I’m around!

My father carries around the picture of the kid who came with his wallet.

The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you.

See, there’s only two theaters, man that are set up pretty groovy all around for music and for smooth stage changes, good lighting and all that – the Fillmore and The Capitol Theatre. And those are the only two in the whole country.
