Forgive yourself for your faults and your mistakes and move on.
You must remain focused on your journey to greatness.
You're either living your dreams, or living your fears.
That everyone won't see it, that everyone won't join you, that everyone won't have the vision... it's necessary to know that... See I wanted everyone to like me, I wanted to be perfect the first time around. IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN. You're gonna make some mistakes, you are gonna create some enemies whenever you decide to take on the world and go after you passion.
There is nothing as powerful as a made up mind. Do not give yourself another excuse to put off making up your mind. You know in your heart of hearts that once you do that you have got to act. You owe it to the world, your family and most importantly, to yourself to live a life of no regrets. Stop worrying about what other people will think, say, or do. You only have one life. LIVE IT now. You have GREATNESS within you!!
you don't have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great.
Give yourself a break. Stop beating yourself up! Everyone makes mistakes, has setbacks and failures. You don't come with a book on how to get it right all the time. You will fail sometimes, not because you planned to, but simply because you're human. Failure is a part of creating a great life. Stand up to it and handle it with grace. Because, you can.
When life knocks you down, try to land on your back. Because if you can look up, you can get up. Let your reason get you back up.
The only limits to the possibilities in your life tomorrow are the buts you use today.
You will win if you don't quit
If you are carrying strong feelings about something that happened in your past, they may hinder your ability to live in the present.
Life has no limitations, except the ones you make.
The world is waiting for you to wake up to the person you are called to be. Stop listening to the negative inner conversation that's causing you to play small. Focus your mind on positive thoughts, possibilities and solutions that can move you forward. Tap into your creativity and determination and stay busy. Stay focused.
Know your gifts and share them.
