You can't just wish change; you have to live the change in order for it to become a reality.
It has been my experience that a bi-product of order is preparedness. And if chance favors the prepared mind, then I am ready!
People who lack the clarity, courage, or determination to follow their own dreams will often find ways to discourage yours. Live your truth and don't EVER stop!
Forget yesterday — it has already forgotten you. Don't sweat tomorrow — you haven't even met. Instead, open your eyes and your heart to a truly precious gift — today.
Speak the truth! One committed mouth carries the seeds that could change a generation and change the world.
Today's a new day. It's your day. You shape it. Don't let it be shaped by someone else's ignorance or fear.
Don't confuse poor decision making with destiny. Own your mistakes. It's OK; we all make them. Learn from them so they can empower you!
You are what you are because it's what you have chosen to be. If you're unhappy, YOU MUST CHANGE FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
How would your life change if your actions did all the talking and all you used your mouth for was to say please and thank you?
NEVER be surprised by your own success!
Unfortunately, the truth is usually the first casualty in an interaction between two people.
Just an observation: it is impossible to be both grateful and depressed. Those with a grateful mindset tend to see the message in the mess. And even though life may knock them down, the grateful find reasons, if even small ones, to get up.
If you see something different for yourself in the future, you have to do something different for yourself in the present.
Intent and action are the fuel and vehicle in the journey of creation.
Intent is a reflection of the spirit's desire to create in the material world.
Look around you. Everything changes. Everything on this earth is in a continuous state of evolving, refining, improving, adapting, enhancing … changing. You were not put on this earth to remain stagnant.
The only power fear has is the power you give it.
The empowered mind allows problems to seed personal growth.
If you intend to change, decide what you want and live your life accordingly.
Never question the power of one! Throughout history it has been the actions of only one person who has inspired the movement of change.
