Let not one single life have passed in vain. What really matters is who you love and how you love.
For me at this time in my life I recognize that everything is about moving closer to that which is God. And without a full, spiritual center - and I am not talking about religion, I am talking about without understanding the fullness from which you've come you can't really fulfill your supreme moment of destiny....
When you educate a woman, you set her free. Had I not had books and education in Mississippi, I would have believed that's all there was.
Not like I need an excuse to enjoy a Moscow mule, but this tray and six-mug set, handmade in Mexico with hammered recycled copper, makes cocktail hour extra special.
If you make a choice that goes against what everyone else thinks, the world will not fall apart.
I became so frustrated with visiting inner-city schools (in America) that I just stopped going. The sense that you need to learn just isn't there. If you ask the kids what they want or need, they will say an iPod or some sneakers. In South Africa, they don't ask for money or toys. They ask for uniforms so they can go to school.
Life is a big ol' canvas. And you have every combination of colors to paint with.
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.
