By surrounding yourself with the opposite, you create a personal environment that is conducive to the opposite. Choose accordingly."

"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."

"...She doesn't have to choose between being gentle or being fierce. Both exist in nature and both exist in her. That's ok. She'll know to nourish them both and when applicable, use each unapologetically."

"Relationships: If you put up with it, you’re going to end up with it. Set the standard you want and don’t settle for less."

"Today is yours to shape. Create a masterpiece!"

"Stop lying to yourself. When we deny our own truth, we deny our own potential."

"Intimacy transcends the physical. It is a feeling of closeness that isn’t about proximity, but of belonging. It is a beautiful emotional space in which two become one."

"I will not try to convince you to love me, to respect me, to commit to me. I deserve better than that; I AM BETTER THAN THAT...Goodbye."

"When I tell you that you’re beautiful, I don’t just mean your appearance. I mean all of you; who and what you are, is beautiful."

"This is your life. This is your moment. Think of all you have been through just to get here… MAKE IT COUNT!"

"Your ability to see beauty and possibility is proportionate to the level at which you embrace gratitude."

"Don’t waste your time hating me; you can’t change me. Instead, hate your impotent life; THAT you can change."
