Do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do
You become what you believe. You are where you are today in your life based on everything you have believed.
The next road is always ahead.
I was once afraid of people saying, “Who does she think she is?” Now I have the courage to stand and say, “This is who I am.
I've always known that life is better when you share it. I now realize it gets even sweeter when you expand the circle.
Your life is big. Keep reaching.
Books were my pass to personal freedom. I learned to read at age three, and soon discovered there was a whole world to conquer that went beyond our farm in Mississippi.
Where there is no struggle, there is no strength.
I was raised to believe that excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism. And that's how I operate my life.
Always take a stand for yourself, your values. You're defined by what you stand for
Whenever I'm faced with a difficult decision, I ask myself, 'What would I do if I weren't afraid of making a mistake? Feeling rejected? looking foolish? Or being alone?' I know for sure that when you remove the fear, the answer that you've been searching for comes into focus and as you walk into your fear, you should know for sure that your deepest struggle can, if you're willing and open, produce your greatest strength.
What God intended for you goes far beyond anything you can imagine.
You can't do it all yourself. Don't be afraid to rely on others to help you accomplish your goals.
You cannot continue to succeed in the world or have a fulfilling life in the world unless you choose to use your life in the service somehow to others and give back what you have been given. That's how you keep it. That's how you get it. That's how you grow it.
