The more you know the stronger you become, the closer you feel to yourself, and the farther you can go.
Create the world you want, and fill it with the opportunities that matter to you.
It's the unknown that makes me feel the most vulnerable.
The most important thing to remember is that you can wear all the greatest clothes and all the greatest shoes, but you’ve got to have a good spirit on the inside. That’s what’s really going to make you look like you’re ready to rock the world.
Sometimes you need to start again, in order to fly
I find that the love we share fills me up and makes me see and appreciate life in a different way.
Be driven, be focused, but enjoy every moment, because it only happens once.
Everything you want to be, you already are. You're simply on the path to discovering it.
I pray to give thanks and to recognize all the good things that are in my life even during times of great change, confusion, or frustration.
I always want to stay focused on who I am, even as I'm discovering who I am.
If we took the time to learn more about different places and people, perhaps we would have more empathy for each other.
Even though I was telling myself I wasn't going to commit to anything because I wanted to take some time off, I was so moved by (the movie) and I really wanted to be involved. Beyond color, beyond being a black or white thing, it was just a human story about struggle and about overcoming when it seems the toughest.
I'd like to dedicate this to just thinking outside the box and not being afraid of who you are no matter what you do.
