If you live in the past and allow the past to define who you are, then you never grow.
What least makes a mother is biology.
What you put out comes back all the time, no matter what.
For everyone of us that succeeds, it's because there's somebody there to show you the way out.
I've learned to rely on the strength I inherited from all those who came before me-the grandmothers, sisters, aunts, and brothers who were tested with unimaginable hardships and still survived. 'I go forth alone, and stand as ten thousand,' Maya Angelou proclaimed in her poem 'Our Grandmothers.' When I move through the world, I bring all my history with me-all the people who paved the way for me are part of who I am.
The biggest mistake in helping undeserved kids is not raising the bar high enough. Children will believe if you believe in them.
One of the truths I most deeply believe is that everything in life - everything - is energy. Within every one of us is the energy that makes the sun rise every day and keeps the planets aligned. It's there, already inside of you, waiting for you to know it. And when you tap in with that connection, that source, that miraculous energy, what I know for sure is that the universe rises up to meet you in unimaginable ways and help you create the life that you want.
Follow your passion. Do what you love, and the money will follow. Most people don't believe it, but it's true.
Remember, you are co-creating your life with the energy of your own intentions.
You only have power in your energy field ... so the only way to live the life you want is in your energy field ... and your greatest power is love.
If it never rained, nothing would grow.
Although there may be tragedy in your life, there's always a possibility to triumph. It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from. The ability to triumph begins with you. Always.
If you make a choice that doesn't please your mate, your friends, your mother, or whoever, the world will not fall apart - the people who truly love you want you to love yourself.
Well, I don't call you an atheist then. I think if you believe in the awe and the wonder and the mystery, then that is what God is. That is what God is, not the bearded guy in the sky.
