You define your own life. Don’t let other people write your script.
Trust your instincts. Intuition doesn’t lie.
There is no greater gift you can give or receive than to honor your calling. It’s why you were born. And how you become most truly alive.
There is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction.
Living your best life is your most important journey in life.
A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself. A mentor is someone who allows you to know that no matter how dark the night, in the morning joy will come. A mentor is someone who allows you to see the higher part of yourself when sometimes it becomes hidden to your own view.
Don’t live your life to please other people.
You are not your circumstances. You are your possibilities. If you know that, you can do anything.
Books showed me there were possibilities in life, that there were actually people like me living in a world I could not only aspire to but attain. Reading gave me hope. For me, it was the open door.
Follow your passion. Do what you love, and the money will follow. Most people don’t believe it, but it’s true.
Make yourself a priority. Fill yourself up so that you can give more to others.
Step out of the history that is holding you back. Step into the new story you are willing to create.
Your journey begins with a choice to get up, step out, and live fully.

What I love most about reading: It gives you the ability to reach higher ground. And keep climbing.
If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is ‘Thank you,’ it will be enough.” – Meister Eckhart.
Wherever you are in your journey, I hope you, too, will keep encountering challenges. It is a blessing to be able to survive them, to be able to keep putting one foot in front of the other – to be in a position to make the climb up life’s mountain, knowing that the summit still lies ahead. And every experience is a valuable teacher.
Author Neale Donald Walsch says, “So long as you’re still worried about what others think of you, you are owned by them. Only when you require no approval from outside yourself can you own yourself.
After the hundreds of stories I’ve heard of atrocities around the globe, I know that if you’re a woman born in the United States, you’re one of the luckiest women in the world. Take your good fortune and lift your life to its highest calling. Understand that the right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege. Use it. Dwell in possibility.
I have a special pair of poop shoes under my desk. Whenever I need to drop a deuce, I slip them on and scurry to the restroom, and no one ever knows it’s me. Like, if I’m wearing Louboutins that day, and my producer sees Earth shoes in the stall... well, you get the idea. It was truly a lightbulb moment when that came to me.
