Oh, everybody wears a mask. We all put our best foot forward. We all try and make a statement, I’m not saying that’s bad.
Happiness isn’t a one-size-fits-all proposition. You must define what it looks like for you and then make a conscious effort to access whatever gets you to your unique definition of joy.
You are your own most important resource for making your life work. Life rewards action. Until your knowledge, awareness, insights, and understandings are translated into action, they are of no value.
Some people prefer the passenger role, because it imposes no real pressure to decide or stand accountable for their life results.
If you need a miracle, be a miracle.
Common sense needs to be more common.
Well, let me tell you, if you’re 45, had three children and are post-menopausal, you’re not going to weigh what you did the day you graduated from high school. Get that out of your head. That’s a media-driven ideal that you’re never going to healthfully obtain.

If I was on the air and was just kind of a plain-vanilla personality that took the safe road and the safe way trying to please all of the people all of the time, I’d been gone in two weeks.

Pain is the price you pay for resisting life.
The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things losers don’t want to do.
This is no dress rehearsal.
There’s a big difference between falling in love and being in love. There’s a big difference between infatuation and falling in love.
We all have a social mask, right? We put it on, we go out, put our best foot forward, our best image. But behind that social mask is a personal truth, what we really, really believe about who we are and what we’re capable of.
At the end of the day, whether or not those people are comfortable with how you’re living your life doesn’t matter. What matters is whether you’re comfortable with it.
Sometimes you just got to give yourself what you wish someone else would give you.
The Internet is just bringing all kinds of information into the home. There’s just a lot of distraction, a lot of competition for the parent’s voice to resonate in the children’s ears.
We are proud to have a platform through the Dr Phil show and the Dr. Phil Foundation to offer children the voice they need to meet their goals in having a better life.
I think every parent, every generation has wanted their children to do better and have a higher standard of living. But I think there’s too much guilt.
