“Nothing on this earth will empower you or change you more than knowing without doubt that God loves you.”

“You cannot do more than you can, so be gentle with yourself and quick to forgive your mistakes and to move on.”

“How do you choose your paths? Who says you do? Sometimes the path chooses you.”

“Why are you alive? To discover joy and to share that joy with others.”

“Why have you been my friend when I didn’t deserve friendship?” “Because friendship isn’t something anyone deserves…it’s just one of those blessings of life, you can’t earn…love has no price tag.”

“Dreams are blueprints and what good are blueprints until a carpenter goes to work? Dream big, and bold and brazen, but then get off your butt and do the work to realize your own dreams.”

“You cannot be a friend to someone else, if you do not have a friendship with yourself.”

“A journey through nature is always a road thatleads to self-discovery.”

“The weight you lift is not nearly as heavy as the weight you carry.”

“The happiest, most successful, extraordinary people are not people who have coasted through life. They’ve fallen, they’ve been shoved; they’ve known loss and defeat. They’ve struggled out of the darkest, deepest pits and they’ve emerged with their hearts softened, their minds sharpened, and their spirits concerned for others. These are the rare beautiful people who know how to think their way to greatness. They understand that a great life begins with a great thought.”

“There’s still a little girl inside every grown woman who would love to be able to fall into the arms of her mother and cry her eyes out every now and then.”

“Don’t even try to count all the colors of spring. God’s pallet keeps generating new hues.”

“I believe that we are all born for greatness yet most of us mire in the mediocrity of life. We become complacent or worse, discouraged and stagnate. We damn ourselves by not progressing.”

“We’ve all got voices inside our heads and over time they blend into a mental orchestra that all sounds the same. This is where we assume every voice we hear is our own even though that is not true.”

“Some of the most memorable paths I've taken have been detours.”

“Today is a gift that will be taken from you at day's end. Don't waste a moment, a chance, a lesson. You'll never live today again.”

“Never let anyone belittle your efforts to better yourself. Let them stand back or stand aside, but you move forward no matter who tries to stop you.”

“A wise woman invests her time and doesn’t squander it in gossip, judgment or idleness. She knows every moment gone is one that she will not get back.”

“Sometimes just getting up and moving is victory enough.”

“Attractive souls are different than beautiful souls. Attractive souls take care of their outward appearance for appearance sake. Beautiful souls care for themselves inwardly and outwardly, so they can be of value to themselves and to others.”
