Pause and remember - Every morning is a new page in the story of your life. You are creating your life at every moment. Think wisely about the day you want to create for yourself.

Pause and remember - Every single event in your life, especially the difficult lessons, have made you smarter, stronger, and wiser than you were yesterday. Be thankful!

Pause and remember - Nothing lasts forever. Better days are coming, but they will come faster with faith.

Pause and remember - When you fight reality, you will lose every time. Once you accept the situation for what it truly is, not what you want it to be, you are then free to move forward.

Pause and remember - Stop procrastinating! Wishing is wonderful but action is what it takes to make it happen.

Pause and remember - Making the wrong assumptions causes pain and suffering for everyone.

Pause and remember - Slow and steady will get you where you want to go. If you put too much pressure on yourself for results too quickly, you will quickly give up.

Pause and remember - Everyone gets discouraged and feels lost at times. Don't worry - life will get better. A new way is being made for you. Keep moving forward even if it's just baby steps.

Pause and remember - At any moment you have the power to say 'this is enough' and radically change the course of your destiny. Have the faith and courage to follow your hearts calling.

Pause and remember - You will have a lot more time and energy to spend on yourself when you stop worrying and wasting time on how others need to change.

Pause and remember-- Every moment is a choice. Every thought, word and deed is creating your future. Choose wisely and positively!

You attract only the people, situations and outcomes that you either want or need.

There's a tendency, especially among revolutionaries, to only show the good side of yourself and then when you come to power, the bad side comes out.

I first told the idea to an editor I had met who, after reading one of my novels for adults that was set in a high school, had an idea that I might write something for children.

I'm very open in terms of sharing bits about my life, but I think it's very easy to get a distorted sense of who anyone is through social media.

We have a tendency to always test people's love. 'I want to see how badly I have to behave before you'll leave me. Because I don't really think you want me anyhow.'

A society must assume that it is stable, but the artist must know, and he must let us know, that there is nothing stable under heaven.

To me, part of being an emcee is dedicated to speaking out about what's going on around us.

Eat, sleep and swim, that's all I can do.

He sleeps well who knows not that he sleeps ill.

Well, I am now convinced there is no kind of fear or anxiety anyone has to live with.
