That's what life is: an open door to all that is possible. And that's a powerful thing.
You need to dream a bigger dream for yourself. That is the lesson. Hold the highest vision possible for your life and it can come true.
I've learned that every single trial offers us a chance to either turn away from what we know to be true, or to stand strong in who we are move forward.
There is no easy way out. If there were, I would have bought it. And believe me, it would be one of my favorite things!
I'm a truth seeker. That's what I do every day on the show - put out the truth. Some people don't like it, they call it sensational, but I say life is sensational.
Your soul tells you when it's time to move on.
Following your heart's desire will lead you in the direction your spirit wants to go.
If it's not hard, you're not dreaming big enough!
When you run a race, you hurt your ability to compete when you turn your head to look at the competition chasing you, you lose a step physically and psychologically. Run the race always stretching to do your best, imitations will come in last, no one can catch an original.
You did the best you could, the best you knew how at the time." It was something like that. From Oprah on an Oprah show. Then I believe my quote above was from Maya Angelou on the Oprah show, not Oprah herself. I had heard it before but it was on Oprah's show again 1-7-09 and she said Maya had said it.
You don't have a man, you need spaghetti.
I'm black, I don't feel burdened by it and I don't think it's a huge responsibility. It's part of who I am. It does not define me.
God can dream a bigger dream for you then you could ever dream for yourself.
Whenever you can't think of something to be grateful for, remember your breath. With each breath you take, you can say, 'I'm still here.' Make each day a holiday of thankfulness -and give yourself the gift of gratitude!
