You must have some vision for your life. Even if you don't know the plan, you have to have a direction in which you choose to go. You want to be in the driver's seat of your own life because if you are not, life will drive you.
Honour the difficult.
I believe everyday your life speaks to you - through every experience, through the people you meet, and even through pain, fear and self-doubt.
Have the boldness to tell yourself the truth - every bit of it.
The reason I gained so much weight in the first place and the reason I had such a sorry history of abusive relationships with men was I just needed approval so much. I needed everyone to like me, because I didn't like myself much.
If all this happened to you what paradigm might you develop? How might that paradigm affect you in terms of your life from that point on? What does this tell you about Abe? There are no failures, only lessons to be learned.
I have incredible stamina- the what-do-I-got-that-they-ain't-got kind of stamina.
What I know for sure is that it's only when you make the process your goal that the big dream can follow. That doesn't necessarily mean your process will necessarily lead you to wealth or fame. In fact, your dream may have nothing to do with tangible prosperity and everything to do with creating a life filled with joy, one with no regrets and a clear conscience.

This year I am choosing to live beyond my wildest dreams. I wonder where they'll take me.
I couldn't kill myself. I would be afraid the minute I did it; something really good would happen and I'd miss it.
God is a feeling experience and not a believing experience. If your religion is a believing experience ... then that's not truly God.
I believe that you tend to create your own blessings. You have to prepare yourself so that when opportunity comes, you're ready.
When you wake up in the morning looking for the light, the light will come.
