My idea of heaven is a great big baked potato and someone to share it with.

Making a Different Choice Gives You the Opportunity to Live a Different Life.

The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.

Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother.

Where there is no struggle, there is no strength.

Taking care of your body, no matter what your age, is an investment.

What you believe has more power than what you dream or wish or hope for. You become what you believe.

The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment, when you are between asleep and awake, when you don't know the difference between reality and fantasy, when for just that one moment you feel with your entire soul that the dream is reality, and it really happened.

...I learned to be grateful no matter what happened in my life!

Nobody but you is responsible for your life. You are responsible for your life. What is your life? What is all life? What is every flower, every rock, every tree? Energy. And you're responsible for the energy you create for yourself, and you're responsible for the energy that you bring to others.

The greatest lesson of life is that you are responsible for your life.

If you're sitting around waiting on somebody to save you, to fix you, to even help you, you are wasting your time because only you have the power to take responsibility to move your life forward.

You are responsible for the energy that you create for yourself, and you're responsible for the energy that you bring to others.

Don't wait for someone else to complete you. 'Jerry Maguire' was just a movie.

Before you agree to do anything that might add even the smallest amount of stress to your life, ask yourself: What is my truest intention? Give yourself time to let a yes resound within you. When it's right, I guarantee that your entire body will feel it.

Let excellence be your brand... When you are excellent, you become unforgettable.

With every failure, every crisis, every difficult time, I say - What is this here to teach me? And as soon as you get the lesson, you get to move on. If you really get the lesson, you pass and you don't have to repeat the class. _x000D_ _x000D_ My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.

Forgivness is letting go of the hope that the past can be changed

I think education is power. I think that being able to communicate with people is power. One of my main goals on the planet is to encourage people to empower themselves.

It isn't until you come to a spiritual understanding of who you are - not necessarily a religious feeling, but deep down, the spirit within - that you can begin to take control.

My idea is to give hope, because where there is no hope, there is no vision, and where there is no vision, people will perish.
