What has made me successful is the ability to surrender my plans, dreams and goals to a power that's greater than other people and greater than myself.

Forget about the fast lane. If you really want to fly, just harness your power to your passion

If it doesn't feel right, don't do it. That is the lesson, and that lesson alone will save you a lot of grief.

You do what you have to do to get through today, and that puts you in the best place tomorrow.

Truth allows you to live with integrity. Everything you do and say shows the world who you really are. Let it be the Truth.

Find a way to get paid for doing what you love. Then every paycheck will be a bonus.

Spirituality for me is recognizing that I am connected to the energy of all creation, that I am a part of it and it is always a part of me.

I trust in the ebb and flow of the universe. I trust that life's bigger than what I can see. I trust that there is a divine order beyond my control. And I trust that no matter what happens, I will be all right.

What I know for sure is that your life is a multipart series of all your experiences- and each experience is created by your thoughts, intentions, and actions to teach you what you need to know. Your life is a journey of learning to love yourself first and then extending that love to others in every encounter.

Every birthday, you decide whether to mark it the end of your greatest days or the beginning of your finest hour.

There is no such thing as failure. Mistakes happen in your life to bring into focus more clearly who you really are.

The chance to love and be loved exists no matter who or where you are.

So, that is my final lesson from the universe - you just do what you need to do, and stay on track.

All these years I've been feeling like I was growing into myself. Finally, I feel grown.

What we're all striving for is authenticity, a spirit-to-spirit connection.

I want to use television not only to entertain, but to help people lead better lives.

A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself.

No matter where you are on your journey, that's exactly where you need to be. The next road is always ahead.

Getting my lifelong weight struggle under control has come from a process of treating myself as well as I treat others in every way.

The key is not to worry about being successful, but to instead to work toward being significant - and the success will naturally follow.

There is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction.
