Give yourself permission to be happy. It doesn't matter what's going on around you, what matters is what's going on inside you.

Although actions may speak louder than words, it is our intentions that reveal our soul.

Replace your judgments with empathy, upgrade your complaining to gratitude and trade in your fear for love.

Let today be the day you give up who you've been for who you can become.

Wake up early everyday so that while others are still dreaming, you can make your dreams come true.

There is nothing to fear, because you cannot fail... only learn, grow and become better than you've ever been before.

When you express gratitude everyday, you give yourself the gift of experiencing the joy of gratitude everyday. Give yourself that gift today!

They say misery loves company, but so does mediocrity. Don't let the limiting beliefs of OTHERS limit what's possible for YOU.

Life isn't about wishing you were somewhere, or someone that you're not. Life is about enjoying where you are, loving who you are and consistently improving both.

Anything you want for your life, if someone else has done, become, or achieved it, use that as evidence that so can you.

Never let the limitations or insecurities of others limit what is possible for you.

It's very hard, for most of us to tolerate being loved.

I obviously read and adore traditional fiction. I teach traditional fiction; I also teach all kinds of not-so-traditional fiction.

The message is that ultimate meaning is to be found in this present moment, infusing our everyday lives, here and now.

Take my advice. Stay away from all broken people.

I feel like sometimes people on television shows can start taking things for granted, or they don't want to be here or something like that.

every human activity, whether it be love, philosophy, art, or revolution, is carried on with a special intensity in Paris.

Instead of our petulant, fretful, irritable human hastiness we should cultivate in our souls the patience which has learned to wait on God.
