The journey of change doesn't begin when you intend, it begins when you move.
It is only with true love and compassion that we can begin to mend what is broken in the world. It is only these two blessed things that can begin to heal all the broken hearts.
If you want something you've never had you have to be willing to do something you've never done.
How would your life be different if … You didn't allow yourself to be defined by your past? Let today be the day … You stop letting your history interfere with your destiny and awaken to the opportunity to release your greatest self.
Sing the song in your heart and don't ever let anyone shut you up!
Happiness and success come from living in the present, not from existing in the past.
Speak the truth! One committed mouth carries the seeds that could change a generation and change the world.
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.
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!
It has been my experience that a bi-product of order is preparedness. And if chance favors the prepared mind, then I am ready!
You can't just wish change; you have to live the change in order for it to become a reality.
Don't augment your complaints, augment your actions.
When we are judging everything, we are learning nothing.
Nothing is so self-sabotaging as having your actions not reflect your goals. Your life is always just waiting for permission to go where you want it to go ... to be shaped how you want it to be shaped.
It only takes a split second to smile and forget, yet to someone that needed it, it can last a lifetime. We should all smile more often.
Freedom is more than just a word and a patriotic concept. It is the purest intent of God.
It is when we hurt that we learn.
Regret is a spiritual scar.
If you are not in the now you are nowhere.
Your seed is your initial intent and it flourishes when your actions reflect that intent.
