Friendship is such a powerful healer and source of support.

It's your life... why not fill it with as much joy as possible?

People fall down, winners get up, and gold medal winners just get up faster!

When I am around someone who is a joy stealer, I say to myself, I only have to deal with you for an hour. That person has to deal with thinking that way every moment of their lives.

My definition of confidence is how you feel about yourself, and not letting the external world define you.

I was sexually abused by my step father for years and years, and that caused scars you can't see. And we know many people have the kind of scars you can't see.

Friends are people who are in your life because you feel good around them and you like them. Friends are the people you choose to be with.

You can't have real and authentic friendships unless you honor your feelings.

God has joy for you right now.

I spent so much of my life shut down from the abuse of my childhood. I didn't have friends and I didn't have connections with people.

I do a lot of to-dos and a lot of lists. I realized I had to make room for joy. So I added "to feel" items on my to-do list. That's something you can easily do.

The things that bug you the most have the potential to open you the most.

A wise teacher is a keen and true student of absolute beauty and truth, and he searches everywhere for them in nature with all his heart

Hope humbly then; with trembling pinions soar; Wait the great teacher, Death, and God adore; What future bliss He gives not thee to know, But gives that hope to be thy blessing now.

Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives.

College is about three things: homework, fun, and sleep...but you can only choose two.

Ryle Hira: Life is what it is

There has been no discovery like it in the history of man. It puts into man's hands the key to using the fundamental energy of the universe.

My whole life has been about connecting things that aren't connected.

I've heard that Black people and Black faces don't sell magazines, but one day you're going to beg me to be on there.
