Just being born makes you worthy enough to be here
Everybody has a calling. And your real job in life is to figure out as soon as possible what that is, who you were meant to be, and to begin to honor that in the best way possible for yourself.
If you're sitting around waiting on somebody to save you, to fix you, to even help you, you are wasting your time because only you have the power to take responsibility to move your life forward
The pathway to your best life isn't the route of denial. It's owning every moment.
Energy is the essence of life. Every day you decide how you’re going to use it by knowing what you want and what it takes to reach that goal, and my maintaining focus.
We are each responsible for our own life-no other person can be.
I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it
All trials force the question, Who are you really? And you must trust yourself to answer
You are worthy because you were born.
Walk through life eager and open to self-improvemen t and that which is going to best help you evolve, because that's really why were here: to evolve as human beings.

Failure is just a way for our lives to show us we're moving in the wrong direction, that we should try something different
I started out giving thanks for small things, and the more thankful I became, the more my bounty increased
