I've always said it's important to take advice from people who have what you want because otherwise, people are just guessing.

When you compare yourself to others, you miss the miracle of who you are.

Step into giving. Purpose is about cultivating something within YOU and then GIVING it away to other people.

If you want it, become it.

Living on purpose is a lifestyle, a way of being and a lifelong spiritual practice that will refine your Soul. This isn't a 10-day or 30-day plan. This is a lifelong adventure!

Trust that The Uni-verse knows your bills, knows you need to eat and knows your heart much better than even you do, so keep facing your fears and limiting beliefs daily.

Living your purpose will require a HUGE amount of faith, courage, tenacity and perseverance.

One way to know you are REALLY on track is when people begin to doubt or "hate on" what you are doing. It's a natural part of the process.

Don't see haters as a reason to give up; instead see them as a sign that you are starting to become successful.

Find your purpose by excavating and tying together the common threads of your happy memories by focusing on the emotions you felt.

Hang with people who support and uplift you.

I sometimes wonder if life isn’t a giant mirror that reflects back at me everything I hold up to it.

I made a choice to stay home and raise five boys. Believe me, it was hard work.

In a sense, being a full-time writer is less fun because there's no office to go to anymore, there's no set routine, there's no schedule. It can be quite isolating.

The history of the women's movement in America follows a consciousness-amnesia cycle.

Ya' know, these days kids seem to be getting younger and younger.

Turn your 'problems' into 'challenges' and you will suddenly see results in a more positive light.

Don't be content in your life just to do no wrong, be prepared every day to try and do some good.

Work without hope draws nectar in a sieve, And hope without an object cannot live.

Really, becoming a writer sounds more like a mental illness than a professional choice.

States, like men, have their growth, their manhood, their decrepitude, their decay.
