What I know for sure is this: You are built not to shrink down to less, but to blossom into more. To be more extraordinary. To use every moment to fill yourself up.
What I know for sure is that behind every catastrophe, there are great lessons to be learned. Among the many that we as a country need to get is that as long as we play the “us and them” game, we don’t evolve as people, as a nation, as a planet.
I believe that one of life’s greatest risks is never daring to risk.
Use what you have to run toward your best – that’s how I now live my life.
If it doesn’t feel right, don’t do it. That is the lesson, and that lesson alone will save you a lot of grief.
Whatever someone did to you in the past has no power over the present. Only you give it power.
I always knew I’d be a millionaire by age thirty-two. In fact, I am going to be the richest black woman in America.
You can either waltz boldly onto the stage of life and live the way you know your spirit is nudging you to, or you can sit quietly by the wall, receding into the shadows of fear and self doubt.
Forget about the fast lane. If you really want to fly, just harness your power to your passion.
Keep a grateful journal. Every night, list five things that you are grateful for. What it will begin to do is change our perspective of your day and your life.
I urge you to pursue preserving your personal history to allow your children and grandchildren to know who you were as a child and what your hopes and dreams were.
Dream the biggest dream for yourself. Hold the highest vision of life for yourself.
No experience is ever wasted. Everything has meaning.
Become the change you want to see – those are words I live by.
We’re all looking for the highest, fullest expression of ourselves as a human being.
I want people to be more open and tolerant. I want them to know that behind every stranger is a backstory that is the common denominator – for we all share in the human experience: pain, sadness, grief, lack of love, and then, with hope and help, step by step achievements.
The miracle of your existence calls for celebration every day.
Inner wisdom is more important than wealth. The more you spend it, the more you gain.
I know for sure that appreciating whatever shows up for you in life changes your personal vibration. You radiate and generate more goodness for yourself when you’re aware of all you have and not focusing on your have-nots.
The only thing that can free you is the belief that you can be free.
