“If you have a goal, write it down. If you do not write it down, you do not have a goal – you have a wish.”

There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty.

I am not a victim. No matter what I have been through, I’m still here. I have a history of victory.

In a strong relationship, you should love your companion more than you need them.

Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient.

When you hold a grudge, you want someone else’s sorrow to reflect your level of hurt but the two rarely meet.

The right thing to do and the hard thing to do are usually the same.

The universe doesn’t give you what you ask for with your thoughts – it gives you what you demand with your actions.

Look around you. Everything changes. Everything on this earth is in a continuous state of evolving, refining, improving, adapting, enhancing…changing. You were not put on this earth to remain stagnant.

Smile at strangers and you just might change a life.

The beautiful journey of today can only begin when we learn to let go of yesterday.

Don’t give up! It’s not over. The universe is balanced. Every set-back bears with it the seeds of a come-back.

Sometimes life knocks you on your ass… get up, get up, get up!!! Happiness is not the absence of problems, it’s the ability to deal with them.

I’m not crying because of you; you’re not worth it. I’m crying because my delusion of who you were was shattered by the truth of who you are.

Be happy with who you are and what you do, and you can do anything you want.

Reading the Bible will help you get to know the word, but it’s when you put it down and live your life that you get to know the author.

At all times, Dare to be!

The main goal of the future is to stop violence. The world is addicted to it.

My grandma told me that to be wealthy you need at least seven streams of income, so that’s my goal. I have a big family. I want to take care of everybody.

The goal of leadership seems simple: to get people to do what they need to do to support the mission and the team.

The goal of the tribute system was to foster deference, not to extract economic benefit or to dominate foreign societies militarily.

Empires have no interest in operating within an international system; they aspire to be the international system.

With a lot of attention comes criticism, but I’ll take that. I’m reaching all the goals I’ve set for myself, so you can’t say anything bad about that.

I wasn’t going to let one person’s opinion dislodge everything I thought I knew about myself. Instead, I switched my method without changing my goal.

The noise doesn’t go away, but the most successful people I know have figured out how to live with it, to lean on the people who believe in them, and to push onward with their goals.
