"I can’t control your behavior; nor do I want that burden… but I will not apologize for refusing to be disrespected, to be lied to, or to be mistreated. I have standards; step up or step out."

"Like a gift, beautifully wrapped at the foot of your bed each morning, today asks that you open it and enjoy everything inside. Exhaust yourself with all it has to offer!"

"It's not always what we don't know that gets in our way sometimes it's what we think we know that keeps us from learning."

"Do what you think is right. Don't let people make the decision of right or wrong for you."

"Most people have an abundance of dreams, but lack the courage to follow them. Help them find that courage by inspiring them with yours."

"Some people will try to condemn you to the prison of their bullshit. They tell you they want a soulmate, but they're actually creating a cellmate."

"Make sure your business is creating a service experience so good that it demands loyalty."

"Learn from the past, but don’t live in the past."

"Your agreement with reality defines your life."

"The word 'seek' is a verb. Are you treating it as such in your life? If you seek change, success, or love, DO it - BE it!"

"Don't be one of those who don't want others to be empowered. Share information. Try to make the next person, smarter."

"Stop blaming other people and circumstances for killing your dreams. The truth is; we tend to talk ourselves out of acting upon our dreams. Most dreams die of suicide, not murder."
