Step through new doors. The majority of the time there's something fantastic on the other side.
For the first time, I wasn't afraid to be smart, and she often stayed after school to work with me.
After all these years, I could say thank you to a woman who had a powerful impact on my early life.
I want to use television not only to entertain, but to help people lead better lives.
Leadership is about empathy.
I don't have a lot of "I can't" inside me.
When you give up on life, never give up on yourself, because there is so much for you to keep on giving!
For years I've advocated keeping a gratitude journal, writing down five things every day that brought pleasure and gratefulness.
The single greatest thing you can do to change your life today would be to start being grateful for what you have right now. And the more grateful you are, the more you get.
Joy is a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace - a connection to what matters.
Let passion drive your profession.
You have a gift that only you can give the world - that's the whole reason you're on the planet. Use your precious energy to build a magnificent life that really is attainable. The miracle of your existence calls for celebration every day.
Ignoring your passion is like dying a slow death...Passion whispers to you through your feelings, beckoning you toward your highest good. Pay attention to what makes you feel energized, connected, stimulated- what gives you your juice. Do what you love, give it back in the form of service, and you will do more than succeed. You will triumph.
There is a vision for my life that is greater than my imagination can hold.
