Take five minutes to centre yourself in the morning...set your intention every day...if you don't have five minutes, you don't deserve to have the life of your dreams.
The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. .... There are no back doors, no free rides. There's just you, this moment and a choice.
People just want to know that they matter.
I did not believe what I was told about being poor and black and female in Mississippi in 1954.
Your gut is your inner compass. Whenever you have to consult with other people for an answer, you're headed in the wrong direction.
Intent and service-that is my motto.
What you put out is already on its way back to you.
I don't think you ever stop giving. I really don't. I think it's an on-going process. And it's not just about being able to write a check. It's being able to touch somebody's life.
Great communication begins with connection.

I don't believe in luck. Luck is just preparation meeting the moment of opportunity.
There’s a difference between thinking you deserve to be happy and knowing that you are worthy of being happy. Your being alive makes worthiness your birthright. You alone are enough.
