“Being grateful does not mean that everything is necessarily good. It just means that you can accept it as a gift.”

Guard well your thoughts when alone and your words when accompanied.

Great things happen to those who don’t stop believing, trying, learning, and being grateful.

Don’t wait for the right moment to start, start and make each moment right.

Start each day with a positive thought and a grateful heart.

Be thankful for everything that happens in your life; it’s all an experience.

Do what is right, not what is easy nor what is popular.

You don’t have to like someone, but you have to treat them as you wish to be treated.

You cannot control the behavior of others, but you can always choose how you respond to it.

Live the Life of Your Dreams: Be brave enough to live the life of your dreams according to your vision and purpose instead of the expectations and opinions of others.

Courage is feeling fear, not getting rid of fear, and taking action in the face of fear.

Maturity is when you stop complaining and making excuses, and start making changes.

We are all different. Don’t judge, understand instead.

No amount of regretting can change the past, and no amount of worrying can change the future.

Surround yourself with people who believe in your dreams, encourage your ideas, support your ambitions, and bring out the best in you.

Stop giving other people the power to control your happiness, your mind, and your life. If you don’t take control of yourself and your own life, someone else is bound to try.

To have what you have never had, you have to do what you have never done.

Father if you don’t take me any further I honor the gifts you’ve given me thus far.

When it comes to standards, as a leader, it’s not what you preach, it’s what you tolerate. When setting expectations, no matter what has been said or written, if substandard performance is accepted and no one is held accountable.

Leaders must accept total responsibility, own problems that inhibit performance, and develop solutions to those problems.

Is this what I want to be? This? Is this all I’ve got—is this everything I can give? Is this going to be my life? Do I accept that?

I come from a very non-accepting family but I’m very accepting.

When we learn to respond to disappointments with acceptance, we give ourselves the space to realize that all our experiences—good and bad alike—are opportunities to learn and grow.

This is who the fuck I am.

I’m okay with having bad dance moves. I’m okay with having horrible lower teeth. That’s what makes me me, and for some reason, it’s worked out all right.
