You are responsible for your life. You can’t keep blaming somebody else for your dysfunction. Life is really about moving on.
You will be wounded many times in your life. You’ll make mistakes. Some people will call them failures but I have learned that failure is really God’s way of saying, “Excuse me, you’re moving in the wrong direction.” It’s just an experience, just an experience.
There is no paycheck that can equal the feeling of contentment that comes from being the person you are meant to be.
What you focus on expands, and when you focus on the goodness in your life, you create more of it.
I want to continue to encourage as many people as I can to open their hearts to life, because if I know anything for sure, it’s that opening my own heart is what has brought me my greatest success and joy.
No matter where you are on your journey, that’s exactly where you need to be. The next road is always ahead.
You cannot wait for someone to save you, to help you, to complete you. No one can complete you. You complete yourself.
Don’t settle for a relationship that won’t let you be yourself.
Understand that the right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege. Use it. Dwell in possibility.
I was raised to believe that excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism. And that’s how I operate my life.
After all these years, I could say thank you to a woman who had a powerful impact on my early life.
I want to use television not only to entertain, but to help people lead better lives.
Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life, because you become what you believe.
I am grateful for the blessings of wealth, but it hasn’t changed who I am. My feet are still on the ground. I’m just wearing better shoes.
Don’t confuse what people say you are with who you know you are.
Everybody has a story. And there’s something to be learned from every experience.
Learn from every mistake, because every experience, particularly your mistakes, are there to teach you and force you into being more who you are.
The key to realizing a dream is to focus not on success but significance – and then even the small steps and little victories along your path will take on greater meaning.
What God intended for you goes far beyond anything you can imagine.
The next road is always ahead.
