Beauty begins in the moment you decide to be yourself.
Showing up is 80 percent of life.
Become one of the rare people who don’t know how to quit.
Less gossiping, more learning. Less complaining, more excelling. Less walls, more bridges. Less fear, more courage.
Fill your brain with giant dreams so it has no space for petty pursuits.
Every master was once a beginner. Every pro was once an amateur.
There are no mistakes in life, only lessons. There is no such thing as a negative experience, only opportunities to grow, learn and advance along the road of self-mastery. From struggle comes strength. Even pain can be a wonderful teacher.
Life is short. Be of use.
The greatest things in life all require commitment, sacrifice, some struggle and hardship. It’s not easy. But absolutely worth it.
The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence.
Life for me has not been a crystal stair.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I want to think again of dangerous and noble things. I want to be light and frolicsome. I want to be improbable and beautiful and afraid of nothing as though I had wings.
