I trust that everything happens for a reason, even if we are not wise enough to see it.
I am grateful for the blessings of wealth, but it hasn't changed who I am. My feet are still on the ground. I'm just wearing better shoes.
Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.
Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it.
You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.
The key to realizing a dream is to focus not on success but significance - and then even the small steps and little victories along your path will take on greater meaning.
I want to continue to encourage as many people as I can to open their hearts to life, because if I know anything for sure, it's that opening my own heart is what has brought me my greatest success and joy.
Understand that the right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege. Use it. Dwell in possibility.
If friends disappoint you over and over, that's in large part your own fault. Once someone has shown a tendency to be self-centered, you need to recognize that and take care of yourself; people aren't going to change simply because you want them to.
When you know who you are and what you stand for, you stand in wisdom.
Your gut is your inner compass.

As you become more clear about who you really are, you'll be better able to decide what is best for you - the first time around.
You define your own life. Don't let other people write your script.
