Since I was young, I have always known this: Life damages us, every one. We can’t escape that damage. But now, I am also learning this: We can be mended. We mend each other.
I want to be brave, and selfless, and smart, and kind, and honest.
Perseverance, secret of all triumphs.
I want you to get excited about who you are, what you are, what you have, and what can still be for you. I want to inspire you to see that you can go far beyond where you are right now.
Investing in yourself is the best thing you can do. If you’ve got talents, no one can take them from you.
If you’re always ready, you don’t have to get ready.
Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give.
Feed your mind with the good, the clean, the pure, the powerful, and the positive.
In many ways, effective communication begins with mutual respect and inspires, encouraging others to do their best.
This morning did you wake up to an alarm clock or an opportunity clock?
Stop selling. Start helping.
You are the most influential person you will talk to all day.
Success is in the details.
I believe success is achieved by ordinary people with extraordinary determination.
A shared life is a great life.
I never want money that I didn’t earn.
I may not be perfect, but I’m always me.
Be happy with being you. Love your flaws. Own your quirks. And know that you are just as perfect as anyone else, exactly as you are.
You are imperfect, permanently and inevitably flawed. And you are beautiful.
The greatest things in life all require commitment, sacrifice, some struggle and hardship. It’s not easy. But absolutely worth it.
