Before you agree to do anything that might add even the smallest amount of stress to your life, ask yourself: What is my truest intention? Give yourself time to let a yes resound within you. When it’s right, I guarantee that your entire body will feel it.
What I know for sure is that you feel real joy in direct proportion to how connected you are to living your truth.
Don’t complain about what you don’t have. Use what you’ve got. To be less than your best is a sin.
When you make loving others the story of your life, there’s never a final chapter, because the legacy continues. You lend your light to one person, and he or she shines it on another and another and another.
The only courage you will need is the courage to live the life you are meant to.
You can’t accomplish anything worthwhile if you inhibit yourself. If life teaches you nothing else, know this for sure: When you get the chance, go for it.
Every choice gives you a chance to pave your own road. Keep moving. Full speed ahead.
What other people label or might try to call failure, I have learned is just God’s way of pointing you in a new direction.
It’s not easy being grateful all the time. But it’s when you feel least thankful that you are most in need of what gratitude can give you.
When you choose the paradigm of service, it turns everything you do from a job into a gift.
Everyone is the keeper of a dream.
The smallest change in perspective can transform a life. What tiny attitude adjustment might turn your world around?
I have crossed over on the backs of Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Madam C. J. Walker. Because of them I can now live the dream. I am the seed of the free, and I know it. I intend to bear great fruit.
All stress comes from resisting what is.
We’re all called. If you’re here breathing, you have a contribution to make to our human community. The real work of your life is to figure out your function-your part in the whole-as soon as possible, and then get about the business of fulfilling it as only you can.
Keeping a journal will change your life in ways that you’d never imagine.
Connect. Embrace. Liberate. Love somebody. Just one person. And then spread that to two. And as many as you can. You’ll see the difference it makes.
Always take a stand for yourself, your values. You’re defined by what you stand for.
What you believe has more power than what you dream or wish or hope for. You become what you believe.
Living in the moment brings you a sense of reverence for all of life’s blessings.
