Whatever it takes for you to find your freedom, that's what you've lived.

Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it... it's just easier if you do.

Spare yourself from seeking love, approval, or appreciation-from anyone. And watch what happens in reality, just for fun.

Our job is unconditional love. The job of everyone else in our life is to push our buttons.

Stress is an alarm clock that lets you know you're attached to something not true for you.

Peace doesn't require two people; it requires only one. It has to be you. The problem begins and ends there.

Fear has only two causes: the thought of losing what you have or the thought of not getting what you want.

Pay close attention to the particular thoughts you use to deprive yourself of happiness.

If you want real control, drop the illusion of control; let life have you. It does anyway. You’re just telling yourself the story of how it doesn’t.

Loyalty publicly results in leverage privately.

Love, like destiny, loves surprises.

Yet the deepest truths are best read between the lines, and, for the most part, refuse to be written.

It always feels great to be at the start of something new. It's almost like a revolution, in a way.

You don't wanna mess up what you've done. It's like Jordan coming back: You're scared to mess up the legacy.

An offended heart is the breeding ground of deception.

My commitment to the Bible [is my] source of progressive values.

Without contraries there is no progression.
