I know that there are a lot of people out there with stories far worse than mine but you, too, can make it. To those of you who have, welcome to life. I celebrate you.

It doesn't matter if a million people tell you what you can't do, or if ten million tell you no. If you get one yes from God that's all you need.

God gives everyone a lane and no one can beat you in your lane. Just stay focused on Him and what you are supposed to do. And everything will be alright.

Rather than focus on your critics, focus on the people who are impacted by your work.

Don't wait for someone to green light your project, build your own intersection.

Once you're truly happy with yourself alone, that's when you are safe to find the right person to spend the rest of your life with.

Don't stop. Narrow your focus to one idea, and make it work. That will give birth to all of the others. All you can do is plant the seed and water it.

The key to life when it gets tough is to keep moving. Just keep moving.

Fear is a sprit that really can stop you from living.

When God requires us to surrender one dream, it’s because He wants to hand us a bigger and better one.

It does not take a man to stand with the strong, it takes a man to stand with the weak and oppose the strong.

If it doesn't look like success, it isn't your true destiny on earth.

If you were out of a job and your kid needed diapers and your husband just left you, you would be so confused.

Did you ever know that you're a jackass?

Happiness is an equivalent for all troublesome things.

Human beings are not so in harmony with the dharma. That is why they suffer so much. But you as an individual can reach a plane of attention and can become attention itself.

Too much money is as demoralizing as too little, and there's no such thing as exactly enough.

In order to produce something new, you have to return to the original source, to the childhood of mankind.

I was not born to share the hate, but love.
