I want to be in a relationship where you telling me you love me is just a ceremonious validation of what you already show me.

When in a relationship, a real man doesn't make his woman jealous of others, he makes others jealous of his woman.

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.

Live your truth. Express your love. Share your enthusiasm. Take action towards your dreams. Walk your talk. Dance and sing to your music. Embrace your blessings. Make today worth remembering.

I find the best way to love someone is not to change them, but instead, help them reveal the greatest version of themselves.

Plant seeds of happiness, hope, success, and love; it will all come back to you in abundance. This is the law of nature.

Want to keep Christ in Christmas? Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, forgive the guilty, welcome the unwanted, care for the ill, love your enemies, and do unto others as you would have done unto you.

I believe in the immeasurable power of love that true love can endure any circumstance and reach across any distance.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive—to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love—then make that day count!

If you're not comfortable enough with yourself or with your own truth when entering a relationship, then you're not ready for that relationship.

I'm not crying because of you you're not worth it. I'm crying because my delusion of who you were was shattered by the truth of who you are.

When forever becomes a place...when forever ceases to be just a word… when it ceases to be just a measurement of time…but instead becomes a place where soul mates can dance to the song in their hearts... that is a reflection of true love.

It is only with true love and compassion that we can begin to mend what is broken in the world. It is these two blessed things that can begin to heal all broken hearts.

When you say "I" and "my" too much, you lose the capacity to understand the "we" and "our".

How would your life be different if…You approached all relationships with authenticity and honesty? Let today be the day…You dedicate yourself to building relationships on the solid foundation of truth and authenticity.

Set the standard! Stop expecting others to show you love, acceptance, commitment, & respect when you don't even show that to yourself.

There are not enough days in forever to allow me to fully express the depth of my love for you.

I will be generous with my love today. I will sprinkle compliments and uplifting words everywhere I go. I will do this knowing that my words are like seeds and when they fall on fertile soil, a reflection of those seeds will grow into something greater.

The strength of a man isn't seen in the power of his arms. It's seen in the love with which he EMBRACES you.

The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.

Dare to BeWhen a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.When times are tough, dare to be tougher.When love hurts you, dare to love again.When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.Dare to be the best you can –At all times, Dare to be!

Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny.

If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you've made, if they don't realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have to go.

Cry. Forgive. Learn. Move on. Let your tears water the seeds of your future happiness.

Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don't.

Sometimes life knocks you on your ass... get up, get up, get up!!! Happiness is not the absence of problems, it's the ability to deal with them.

How would your life be different if…You stopped making negative judgmental assumptions about people you encounter? Let today be the day…You look for the good in everyone you meet and respect their journey.

There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty.

At the end of the day, let there be no excuses, no explanations, no regrets.

We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future.

Make a pact with yourself today to not be defined by your past. Sometimes the greatest thing to come out of all your hard work isn't what you get for it, but what you become for it. Shake things up today! Be You...Be Free...Share.

You must learn to let go. Release the stress. You were never in control anyway.

Get Off The Scale!You are beautiful. Your beauty, just like your capacity for life, happiness, and success, is immeasurable. Day after day, countless people across the globe get on a scale in search of validation of beauty and social acceptance.Get off the scale! I have yet to see a scale that can tell you how enchanting your eyes are. I have yet to see a scale that can show you how wonderful your hair looks when the sun shines its glorious rays on it. I have yet to see a scale that can thank you for your compassion, sense of humor, and contagious smile. Get off the scale because I have yet to see one that can admire you for your perseverance when challenged in life.It’s true, the scale can only give you a numerical reflection of your relationship with gravity. That’s it. It cannot measure beauty, talent, purpose, life force, possibility, strength, or love. Don’t give the scale more power than it has earned. Take note of the number, then get off the scale and live your life. You are beautiful!

It is important that we forgive ourselves for making mistakes. We need to learn from our errors and move on.

If you hang out with chickens, you're going to cluck and if you hang out with eagles, you're going to fly.

Renew, release, let go. Yesterday’s gone. There’s nothing you can do to bring it back. You can’t “should’ve” done something. You can only DO something. Renew yourself. Release that attachment. Today is a new day!

How would your life be different if…You walked away from gossip and verbal defamation? Let today be the day…You speak only the good you know of other people and encourage others to do the same.

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.

Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient.

I want to live my life in such a way that when I get out of bed in the morning, the devil says, "aw shit, he's up!

How would your life be different if…You stopped allowing other people to dilute or poison your day with their words or opinions? Let today be the day…You stand strong in the truth of your beauty and journey through your day without attachment to the validation of others

A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.

When you hold a grudge, you want someone else’s sorrow to reflect your level of hurt but the two rarely meet.

Why Not You?Today, many will awaken with a fresh sense of inspiration. Why not you?Today, many will open their eyes to the beauty that surrounds them. Why not you?Today, many will choose to leave the ghost of yesterday behind and seize the immeasurable power of today. Why not you?Today, many will break through the barriers of the past by looking at the blessings of the present. Why not you?Today, for many the burden of self doubt and insecurity will be lifted by the security and confidence of empowerment. Why not you?Today, many will rise above their believed limitations and make contact with their powerful innate strength. Why not you?Today, many will choose to live in such a manner that they will be a positive role model for their children. Why not you?Today, many will choose to free themselves from the personal imprisonment of their bad habits. Why not you?Today, many will choose to live free of conditions and rules governing their own happiness. Why not you?Today, many will find abundance in simplicity. Why not you?Today, many will be confronted by difficult moral choices and they will choose to do what is right instead of what is beneficial. Why not you?Today, many will decide to no longer sit back with a victim mentality, but to take charge of their lives and make positive changes. Why not you?Today, many will take the action necessary to make a difference. Why not you?Today, many will make the commitment to be a better mother, father, son, daughter, student, teacher, worker, boss, brother, sister, & so much more. Why not you?Today is a new day!Many will seize this day.Many will live it to the fullest.Why not you?

One of the most spiritual things you can do is embrace your humanity. Connect with those around you today. Say, "I love you", "I'm sorry", "I appreciate you", "I'm proud of you"...whatever you're feeling. Send random texts, write a cute note, embrace your truth and share it...cause a smile today for someone else...and give plenty of hugs.

People tend to be generous when sharing their nonsense, fear, and ignorance. And while they seem quite eager to feed you their negativity, please remember that sometimes the diet we need to be on is a spiritual and emotional one. Be cautious with what you feed your mind and soul. Fuel yourself with positivity and let that fuel propel you into positive action.

It doesn't matter what you did or where you were...it matters where you are and what you're doing. Get out there! Sing the song in your heart and NEVER let anyone shut you up!!

Let today be the day you stop being haunted by the ghost of yesterday. Holding a grudge & harboring anger/resentment is poison to the soul. Get even with people...but not those who have hurt us, forget them, instead get even with those who have helped us.

The beautiful journey of today can only begin when we learn to let go of yesterday.

People who lack the clarity, courage, or determination to follow their own dreams will often find ways to discourage yours. When you change for the better, the people around you will be inspired to change also....but only after doing their best to make you stop. Live your truth and don't EVER stop.

My past has not defined me, destroyed me, deterred me, or defeated me; it has only strengthened me.

You were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose, and to do it courageously.

The reason many people in our society are miserable, sick, and highly stressed is because of an unhealthy attachment to things they have no control over.

Perfectly ImperfectWe have all heard that no two snowflakes are alike. Each snowflake takes the perfect form for the maximum efficiency and effectiveness for its journey. And while the universal force of gravity gives them a shared destination, the expansive space in the air gives each snowflake the opportunity to take their own path. They are on the same journey, but each takes a different path.Along this gravity-driven journey, some snowflakes collide and damage each other, some collide and join together, some are influenced by wind... there are so many transitions and changes that take place along the journey of the snowflake. But, no matter what the transition, the snowflake always finds itself perfectly shaped for its journey. I find parallels in nature to be a beautiful reflection of grand orchestration. One of these parallels is of snowflakes and us. We, too, are all headed in the same direction. We are being driven by a universal force to the same destination. We are all individuals taking different journeys and along our journey, we sometimes bump into each other, we cross paths, we become altered... we take different physical forms. But at all times we too are 100% perfectly imperfect. At every given moment we are absolutely perfect for what is required for our journey. I’m not perfect for your journey and you’re not perfect for my journey, but I’m perfect for my journey and you’re perfect for your journey. We’re heading to the same place, we’re taking different routes, but we’re both exactly perfect the way we are. Think of what understanding this great orchestration could mean for relationships. Imagine interacting with others knowing that they too each share this parallel with the snowflake. Like you, they are headed to the same place and no matter what they may appear like to you, they have taken the perfect form for their journey. How strong our relationships would be if we could see and respect that we are all perfectly imperfect for our journey.

This life is for loving, sharing, learning, smiling, caring, forgiving, laughing, hugging, helping, dancing, wondering, healing, and even more loving. I choose to live life this way. I want to live my life in such a way that when I get out of bed in the morning, the devil says, 'aw shit, he's up!

The right thing to do and the hard thing to do are usually the same.

It's funny how, in this journey of life, even though we may begin at different times and places, our paths cross with others so that we may share our love, compassion, observations, and hope. This is a design of God that I appreciate and cherish.

How would your life be different if…You stopped worrying about things you can’t control and started focusing on the things you can? Let today be the day…You free yourself from fruitless worry, seize the day and take effective action on things you can change.

The greatest step towards a life of simplicity is to learn to let go.

Those with a grateful mindset tend to see the message in the mess. And even though life may knock them down, the grateful find reasons, if even small ones, to get up.

Today is a new day. Don't let your history interfere with your destiny! Let today be the day you stop being a victim of your circumstances and start taking action towards the life you want. You have the power and the time to shape your life. Break free from the poisonous victim mentality and embrace the truth of your greatness. You were not meant for a mundane or mediocre life!

There is great change to be experienced once you learn the power of letting go. Stop allowing anyone or anything to control, limit, repress, or discourage you from being your true self! Today is YOURS to shape - own it - break free from people and things that poison or dilute your spirit.

Free yourself from the complexities and drama of your life. Simplify. Look within. Within ourselves we all have the gifts and talents we need to fulfill the purpose we've been blessed with.

If you believe you can, you might. If you know you can, you will.

Love yourself. Forgive yourself. Be true to yourself. How you treat yourself sets the standard for how others will treat you.

If you fuel your journey on the opinions of others, you are going to run out of gas.

Sometimes letting go is simply changing the labels you place on an event. Looking at the same event with fresh eyes.

No matter what your history has been, your destiny is what you create today. What are you going to create?

If you are not the hero of your own story, then you're missing the whole point of your humanity.

Every single time you help somebody stand up you are helping humanity rise.

How would your life be different if…You stopped validating your victim mentality? Let today be the day…You shake off your self-defeating drama and embrace your innate ability to recover and achieve.

Live authentically. Why would you continue to compromise something that's beautiful to create something that is fake?

When you are living the best version of yourself, you inspire others to live the best versions of themselves.

You’re frustrated because you keep waiting for the blooming of flowers of which you have yet to sow the seeds.

Every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being re-directed to something better.

‎Today is a new day. It's a day you have never seen before and will never see again. Stop telling yourself the 'same crap, different day' lie! How many days has that lie stolen from you? Seize the wonder and uniqueness of today! Recognize that throughout this beautiful day, you have an incredible amount of opportunities to move your life into the direction you want it to go.

Holding a grudge & harboring anger/resentment is poison to the soul. Get even with people...but not those who have hurt us, forget them, instead get even with those who have helped us.

Happiness is a state of mind, a choice, a way of living; it is not something to be achieved, it is something to be experienced.

I am so grateful for my troubles. As I reflect back on my life, I have come to realize that my greatest triumphs have been born of my greatest troubles.

People will always have opinions about your decision because they're not courageous enough to take action on their opinion.

Don't give up! It's not over. The universe is balanced. Every set-back bears with it the seeds of a come-back.

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.

Sometimes it's the same moments that take your breath away that breathe purpose and love back into your life.

Temptation is the feeling we get when encountered by an opportunity to do what we innately know we shouldn't.

Once your mindset changes, everything on the outside will change along with it.

If you have a goal, write it down. If you do not write it down, you do not have a goal - you have a wish.

Accept yourself, your strengths, your weaknesses, your truths, and know what tools you have to fulfill your purpose.

Stop giving your life away to other people.

Simplify your life. You don't grow spiritual, you shrink spiritual.

It’s a lack of clarity that creates chaos and frustration. Those emotions are poison to any living goal.

A new day: Be open enough to see opportunities. Be wise enough to be grateful. Be courageous enough to be happy.

The strong-minded rise to the challenge of their goals and dreams. The weak-minded become haters.

Do not let another day go by where your dedication to other people's opinions is greater than your dedication to your own emotions!

Participate in your dreams today. There are unlimited opportunities available with this new day. Take action on those wonderful dreams you've had in your mind for so long. Remember, success is something you experience when you act accordingly.

Happiness has to do with your mindset, not with outside circumstance.

Although time seems to fly, it never travels faster than one day at a time. Each day is a new opportunity to live your life to the fullest. In each waking day, you will find scores of blessings and opportunities for positive change. Do not let your TODAY be stolen by the unchangeable past or the indefinite future! Today is a new day!

Allow yourself to enjoy each happy moment in your life.

The power to change your life lies in the simplest of steps.

Be happy with who you are and what you do, and you can do anything you want.

Never compromise your values.

You have the ability to choose your reactions.

Happiness is not the absence of problems, it's the ability to deal with them.

It only takes a split second to smile and forget, yet to someone that needed it, it can last a lifetime.

You are not a victim. No matter what you have been through, you're still here. You may have been challenged, hurt, betrayed, beaten, and discouraged, but nothing has defeated you. You are still here! You have been delayed but not denied. You are not a victim, you are a victor. You have a history of victory.

The universe doesn’t give you what you ask for with your thoughts - it gives you what you demand with your actions.

There is nothing more beautiful than seeing a person being themselves. Imagine going through your day being unapologetically you.

Smile at strangers and you just might change a life.

Your complaints, your drama, your victim mentality, your whining, your blaming, and all of your excuses have NEVER gotten you even a single step closer to your goals or dreams. Let go of your nonsense. Let go of the delusion that you DESERVE better and go EARN it! Today is a new day!

The most powerful relationship you will ever have is the relationship with yourself.

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!

You are beautiful. Know this. Anyone who tells you otherwise is simply lying. You are beautiful.

You have a unique gift to offer this world. Be true to yourself, be kind to yourself, read and learn about everything that interests you and keep away from people who bring you down. When you treat yourself kindly and respect the uniqueness of those around you, you will be giving this world an amazing gift... YOU!

Your opinion is not my reality.

In your own life it's important to know how spectacular you are.

I am not a victim. No matter what I have been through, I'm still here. I have a history of victory.

In a strong relationship, you should love your companion more than you need them.

The victim mindset dilutes the human potential. By not accepting personal responsibility for our circumstances, we greatly reduce our power to change them.

Stop blaming outside circumstances for your inside chaos.

Love has no limitations. It cannot be measured. It has no boundaries. Although many have tried, love is indefinable.

Don't let the tall weeds cast a shadow on the beautiful flowers in your garden.

A beautiful thing happens when we start paying attention to each other. It is by participating more in your relationship that you breathe life into it.

Today, many will choose to live free of conditions and rules governing their own happiness. Why not you? Do not let another day go by where your dedication to other people's opinions is greater than your dedication to your own emotions! Today's a new day!

It's up to you today to start making healthy choices. Not choices that are just healthy for your body, but healthy for your mind.

If you want to find happiness, find gratitude.

We would do ourselves a tremendous favor by letting go of the people who poison our spirit.

I Love Loving YouYou are my favorite song; a rhythm of beauty that captures my spirit.You are my favorite poem; an exquisite grouping of ideas set in motion with an unmatched enchanting elegance. You are my best friend; from our laughter to our deep conversations, our moments together are a timeless pleasure.You are my soul mate; a connection so pure, so powerful, that it can only be considered divine. You are my lover; a passionate entwinement, a chorus of ecstasy, and a feeling of complete unity that words could never adequately describe.You are my angel; you remind me of the goodness in this world and inspire me to be the greatest version of myself.You are my home; it is in your loving gaze that I find the comfort, acceptance, and the sense of belonging. You are my love ~ mi amor; there are not enough days in forever to allow me to fully express my love for you.I love loving you.

Do you love yourself enough to BE what you love yourself enough to WANT?

In every ancient religious and sacred text, faith is a verb; a thing to be demonstrated. It is in modern days that we have diluted faith from an act to a philosophy.

Ideas and philosophies have a shelf-life. They must be kept fresh and renewed or they will spoil. If left unattended, the same ideas and philosophies that once nourished you and helped you grow can poison you and make you sick. Become aware of new ideas that can refresh your way of life and be open to the fact that your old ideas and philosophies can work for you for some time, but when the shelf-life has passed, those ideas and philosophies could also harm you.

Judging is preventing us from understanding a new truth. Free yourself from the rules of old judgments and create the space for new understanding.

Once you start recognizing the truth of your story, finish the story. It happened but you're still here, you're still capable, powerful, you're not your circumstance. It happened and you made it through. You're still fully equipped with every single tool you need to fulfill your purpose.

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

Religious structure often dilutes the spiritual experience.

The greatest enemy to fear is truth.

Your fear of the truth does not hide or dilute it.

Do not dilute the truth of your potential. We often convince ourselves that we cannot change, that we cannot overcome the circumstances of our lives. That is simply not true. You have been blessed with immeasurable power to make positive changes in your life. But you can't just wish it, you can't just hope it, you can't just want it... you have to LIVE it, BE it, DO it.

The purpose of empowerment is to urge you towards freedom, to help each of you to break free of all limitations. It is that freedom that will give you eternal happiness and finally connect you with the unconditional realization of TRUTH.

I want you to embark on the truth of loving yourself because when you love yourself and when you appreciate yourself, you will make healthy changes in your life for healthy reasons.

Each day gives the opportunity for you to be treated right, to feel worthy, and to be successful. It’s a choice you have to make, a faith you have to embrace, and a standard you have to set.

How would your life be different if...You could control the outcome of your day, your week, your year? Let today be the day...You embrace the truth that you DO have such control to label every event in your life, and create an agreement with reality that empowers you and propels you to greatness.

It is our action that determines the viability of our dream.

Being in a relationship with some people is like pushing a boat through sand. I used to have the time and energy for that kind of nonsense, but not anymore. Relationships should be a wonderful journey of exploration and love; not grinding resistance.

Don’t be disheartened by the forces of evil. Nothing can happen that God hasn’t allowed. Even resistance is all part of grand orchestration. The devil always has you right were God wants you.

God’s word is not just to be heard and repeated, it is to be breathed, lived, and emulated with each action.

Don’t tell me about your god with your words. Show me about your god with your actions.

Think of the patience God has had for you and let it resonate to others. If you want a more patient world, let patience be your motto

Do Something!I was sitting on a plane after a long, tiring business trip. I was a bit grouchy and irritable because the rigorous schedule I had made for myself left me exhausted. Looking to not talk to the person next to me and simply endure the flight, I decided to open my newspaper and read about what was happening in the world. As I continued to read, it seemed that everywhere I looked there were stories of injustice, pain, suffering, and people losing hope. Finally, fueled by my tired, irritable state, I became overcome with compassion and frustration for the way things were. I got up and went to the bathroom and broke down.With tears streaming down my face, I helplessly looked to the sky and yelled to God. “God, look at this mess. Look at all this pain and suffering. Look at all this killing and hate. God, how could you let this happen? Why don’t you do something?”Just then, a quiet stillness pacified my heart. A feeling of peace I won’t ever forget engulfed my body. And, as I looked into my own eyes in the mirror, the answer to my own question came back to me… “Steve, stop asking God to do something. God already did something, he gave you life. Now YOU do something!

We must transcend the illusion that money or power has any bearing on our worthiness as children of God.

No matter what the cause, God is only as willing as you are.

God didn’t give fear a body. God gave love a body.

In moments of prayer, people tend to pose as a critic and point out percieved flaws in God's art.

God is the name we give to the science we don't understand. Science is the name we give to the God we don't understand.

If the universe does consist of a battle between the devil and God, the final analysis should conclude that religion would have been the devil’s most brilliant move and science, God’s.

It seems to me that religion is losing momentum and God is making a comeback.

Through my choices and actions, I have learned the most effective way of speaking to God is without saying a word.

Old religious dogma attempts to convince you that you are on a journey to God, then makes you pay tolls along that roadway.

There is no saint here. I have attained wisdom from life's experiences... the positive, the negative, the destructive, the nourishing. I have been medicine and I have been poison. I've learned a lot about heaven from aligning with angels and I learned a lot about hell from acting like a devil. I offer my scars... what you call "wisdom"... as insight I have gathered from my comfort of living within both the light and the shadow.

Stop giving meaningless praise and start giving meaningful action.

Let today be the day you finally release yourself from the imprisonment of past grudges and anger. Simplify your life. Let go of the poisonous past and live the abundantly beautiful present... today.

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.

Love and compassion are the mother and father of a smile. We need to create more smiles in our world today. Smiles, after all, pave the way to a happy world.

Are you going to allow the world around you to change while you remain stagnant? Make this the time you throw away old habits that have hindered your happiness and success and finally allow your greatest self to flourish.

Life itself is simple...it's just not easy.

Your life begins to change the day you take responsibility for it.

When you find yourself in need of spiritual nourishment, it is in the opportunities to serve others that you will find the abundance you seek.

Finding happiness should not be seen as finding a needle in a haystack. Happiness is within. Each day is a blessing that brings an abundance of happiness. Therefore, finding happiness should be like finding a gift in a stack of gifts.

A grateful mindset can set you free from the prison of disempowerment and the shackles of misery.

At any given moment the choice to be happy is present- we just have to choose to be happy.

The value of a moment is immeasurable. The power of just ONE moment can propel you to success and happiness or chain you to failure and misery.

You are beautiful. Your beauty, just like your capacity for life, happiness, and success, is immeasurable.

Free yourself from the complexities of your life! A life of simplicity and happiness awaits you.

A life of happiness, peace, and love is all within our grasp.

Do not sabotage your new relationship with your last relationship’s poison.

Live Today! Do not allow your spirit to be softened of your happiness to be limited by a day you cannot have back or a day that does not yet exist.

There is nothing worse for the lying soul than the mirror of reality.

Learn from your history, but don’t live in it.

Free yourself from the burden of feeling the need to hold on to anything. Let go… you are a part of everything.

Stop wasting your time looking for the key to happiness… the door is open and unlocked… just walk through it.

The greatest love stories are not those in which love is only spoken, but those in which it is acted upon.

This moment is yours and yours alone! Take charge, seize this moment and allow it to propel you to the high levels of an empowered life. Allow upon this fertile moment to be planted the seeds of your happiness and success.

Be consistent in your dedication to showing your gratitude to others. Gratitude is a fuel, a medicine, and spiritual and emotional nourishment.

The process of discovering your fearless self is of refinement, not adding. The best way to reconnect with your freedom is to look at the rules you have that govern your freedom.

How would your life be different if...You decided to give freely, love fully, and play feverously? Let today be the day...You free yourself from the conditioned rules that limit your happiness and dilute the beautiful life experience. Have fun. Give - Love - Play!

Everything is easier said than done. Wanting something is easy. Saying something is easy. The challenge and the reward are in the doing.

Challenges in life can either enrich you or poison you. You are the one who decides.

You are the point of origin for everything in your world: you set the standard for yourself.

We need more than just the Law of Attraction. We need to connect with its more successful twin, the Law of Generosity. And further entwine ourselves with their parent; the Law of Love.

You would not be here TODAY if YESTERDAY was your defining moment. LIVE THIS DAY and move towards your dreams.

The more I understand the mind and the human experience, the more I begin to suspect there is no such thing as unhappiness; there is only ungratefulness.

Don't wait for other people to be loving, giving, compassionate, grateful, forgiving, generous, or friendly... lead the way!

Stop waiting for the perfect day or the perfect moment... Take THIS day, THIS moment and lead it to perfection.

Dream your dream; and realize that you are more than just the dreamer, you are the point of origin for its reality.

It is in the balancing of your spirituality with your humanity that you will find immeasurable happiness, success, good health, and love.

To embark on the journey towards your goals and dreams requires bravery. To remain on that path requires courage. The bridge that merges the two is commitment.

Don't nourish your fears more than you nourish your hopes.

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness... but only when you pay your taxes? That means your freedom is rented, leased, & not unalienable.

Get out of your own way… stop the paralysis by analysis… decide what you want, create a simple plan, and get moving!

My scars tell a story. They are a reminder of times when life tried to break me, but failed. They are markings of where the structure of my character was welded.

Intent not followed by action is an insult to your design. Decide what you want, create a plan, and get your ass out there!

The most powerful relationship you will ever have is the relationship with yourself. It is in this relationship that you set the standard for all others.

Just like your body and lifestyle can be healthy or unhealthy, the same is true with your beliefs. Your beliefs can be your medicine or your poison.

Not matter what your sacred or religious book is, it's not how well you know the book, it's how well you're in alignment with the author.

If you behave in a manner that poisons your relationship, don’t be surprised when it dies.

I am who I am because the tears of my past have watered the magnificence of my present.

Stop pointing fingers and placing blame on others. Your life can only change to the degree that you accept responsibility for it.

Blame is the creed of the disempowered.

Create an environment that is conducive to your emotional and personal growth. Surround yourself with caring and positive people who support you, and reflect who you want to be.

You are designed for success. Life's tough, but you are greater than its challenges. No matter what you have been through, you're still here. You have a history of victory.So ignore the haters, the doubters, and free yourself from the emotional saboteurs. Don't ever forget that you are beautiful, you are capable, you are worthy... you are enough. Set healthy standards and stick to them. Don't settle. Set healthy goals and follow them. Let your behavior speak the love and passion in your heart. Live life to the fullest... make each day worth remembering... Dream BIG & dare to go for it... Be unapologetically you!

A Happiness key: Maintain something to be enthusiastic about. Small/frequent goals = Dopamine hits that propel success.

Scholars, theologians, and even poets have yet to be able to truly describe and touch upon the beauty, romance, and magic of a relationship built on 100% authenticity

Our thoughts and desires are based in hope, but our behaviors are based in fear. This misalignment often causes a feeling of hopelessness and continues the cycle of feeding outdated ideologies and Guru genres offering gimmicks to anesthetize the pain.

I am always saddened by the death of a good person. It is from this sadness that a feeling of gratitude emerges. I feel honored to have known them and blessed that their passing serves as a reminder to me that my time on this beautiful earth is limited and that I should seize the opportunity I have to forgive, share, explore, and love. I can think of no greater way to honor the deceased than to live this way.

Love is forgiving, accepting, moving on, embracing, and all encompassing. And if you’re not doing that for yourself, you cannot do that with anyone else.

Recognize that throughout this beautiful day,you have an incredible amount of opportunities to move your life into the direction you want it to go.

YOU are your love of a lifetime.

It's not about what I SEE for our future, or humanity; It's about what I DO for our future and humanity.

Gratitude opens your eyes to the endless opportunities that expectation has hidden.

Most people talk, but say nothing. That’s ok because nobody is listening anyway. Let today be the day you stop with words and take ACTION! Shut-up and say something with your behavior... Dream. Plan. Act.

Karma: The delusion of the pretentious who think the Universe should act as their debt collector.

The mountain is never as big as it appears. You're never as small as you believe.

If not for tragedy, tyrants, and injustice, there would be nothing to awaken and inspire dormant heroes. There is always a balance. Always.

It’s my life and I’m not afraid to LIVE it! I would rather experience the ups and downs of a life I have chosen, than to suffer the regret of a life I have settled for.

Tombstones and legacies are for the dead.I will live for now… Impact the world for now… Change lives for now… Laugh for now… Love for now… I will experience the length, depth, and breadth of life for now… Later will come soon enough and I will be so tired that I shall welcome the rest it offers…. But for now, ONWARD!

...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.

The reason your life stays the same is because you think everyone else is the problem. Stop pointing fingers and placing blame on others. Your life can only change to the degree that you accept responsibility for it.

As for biblical or religious theory, I don’t ever want to fight about the details of the story, I want to live the reality of the message.

If I told you to wish for good health, you would think I'm ridiculous; but when I exchange the word "wish" for the word "pray", you believe it can work. That is the disempowering delusion religions have brought us.

On your quest to spirituality it is often required to suspend your rationality but true spirituality asks that you enhance your rationality.

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.

Fear can only grow in darkness. Once you face fear with light, you win.

Life is a balanced system of learning and evolution. Whether pleasure or pain every situation in your life serves a purpose. It is up to us to recognize what that purpose could be.

One of the most healing things you can do is recognize where in your life you are your own poison.

Your life is a print-out of your thoughts.

How would your life be different if…You pretended those around you were deaf to your words? Let today be the day…You let your actions speak and communicate your feelings and intentions.

You've been given the innate power to shape your life...but you cannot just speak change, you have to LIVE change. Intent paired with action builds the bridge to success. You can't just want it; you have to do it, live it...BE it! Success isn't something you have, it's something you DO!

You are where you are right now because of the actions you've taken, or maybe, the inaction you've taken.

If you don’t know exactly where you’re going, how will you know when you get there?

Today is the only day in which we have any power.

You have been blessed with immeasurable power to make positive changes in your life.

NEVER be surprised by your own success!

Your agreement with reality defines your life.

Success is something you experience when you act accordingly. Success is not something you have, it's something you do.

Make the choice to embrace this day. Do not let your TODAY be stolen by the ghost of yesterday or the "To-Do" list of tomorrow! It’s inspiring to see all the wonderfully amazing things that can happen in a day in which you participate.

Stop allowing your day-to-day life to be clouded by busy nothingness.

Change is in the air. This change reminds us that we are made and beautifully sculpted by the same power that orchestrates the change of season. Let this be the season you embrace and align yourself with this change.

Participate in your own dreams, don’t just say what you want or complain about what you don’t have.

When you establish a destination by defining what you want, then take physical action by making choices that move you towards that destination, the possibility for success is limitless and arrival at the destination is inevitable.

We may place blame, give reasons, and even have excuses; but in the end, it is an act of cowardice to not follow your dreams.

Live your vision and demand your success.

Your dream is a reality that is waiting for you to materialize. Today is a new day! Don’t let your history interfere with your destiny! Learn from your past so that it can empower your present and propel you to greatness

While intent is the seed of manifestation, action is the water that nourishes the seed. Your actions must reflect your goals in order to achieve true success.

Interrupt your thoughts of "I should", with your action of doing.

What do you think will be more effective when it comes to succeeding, believing you can or KNOWING you will? Let today be the last day you took timid steps of belief and start taking confident steps of purpose-driven knowing!

Make a pact with yourself today to not be defined by your past. Instead, shake things up today! Live through today. Don’t just exist through it - LIVE through it!

Don't think that just because you made it to the next level that the haters and naysayers disappear. Remember, new levels bring new devils.

Become the leader of your life. Lead yourself to where you want to be. Breathe life back into your ambitions, your desires, your goals, your relationships.

You cannot continue on the same path and arrive at a different destination. Make the choice to have your actions reflect your goals.

Stop just cheering for others who are living their visions. Commit yourself to your own success and follow the steps required to achieve it.

Start shaping your own day. Start walking your own walk. This journey is yours, take charge of it. Stop giving other people the power to shape your life.

Let today be the day you stop having conflict between your actions and your goals and finally align your greatest intent with your purposeful actions, creating a universal symphony serenading your success!

A lack of clarity could put the brakes on any journey to success.

When you truly embrace your human impermanence you connect with the power you have, and influence you have, over the time you have.

Too much action with too little intent makes for wasteful exertion of energy and the confusion between movement and progress.

Rise to the challenge of bringing your dreams to life! Do not be discouraged by resistance, be nourished by it. Success is the experience of rising to the level of your true greatness.

Although goals are important, having a plan of action is vital to the success of those goals. Having a goal with no plan of action is like wanting to travel to a new destination without having a map.

The road to success is always under construction.

Free yourself from the inauthenticity and disempowerment of your story.

Action is the universal language of success.

What good has impatience ever brought? It has only served as the mother of mistakes and the father of irritation.

If at first you don’t succeed, you’re doing it wrong. Learn from the experience. Try again, but with a different approach.

When you are just EXISTING, life happens to you… and you manage; when you are truly LIVING, you happen to life… and you lead.

The people we consider successful in our society are all people that seize every moment and make the best of each situation.

It is important that when we make a resolution, or establish a goal, that we take the ACTION necessary to accomplish that goal.

The empowered woman is powerful beyond measure and beautiful beyond description.

Luck is a word the bitter teach to the ignorant.

If you can transcend from the dark rut of disempowered thinking to the bright light of an empowered agreement with reality, you will see opportunities not barriers. You will see the finish line, not the hurdles.

You‘ve been given the innate power to shape your life.

If you have to ask if you’ve done enough, you haven’t. Each day brings with it the opportunity to do more than you did yesterday.

At any given point you can release your greatest self. Don’t let anyone hold you back. Don’t let anyone dilute you. Don’t be peer pressured into being less than you are. People willing to dilute themselves for the sake of others is one of the great tragedies of our time. Stop letting others define and set the pace for your life. Get out there and be your best. Do your best. Live your best. Make every day count and you’ll see how exponentially more exciting, thrilling, successful, happy and full your life will be.

Intent without dedicated action is simply not enough. Action without a clear intent is a waste. It is when these two powerful forces are aligned that the energy of the universe conspires in your favor.

The time has come to harness the blessed power within us and to use it to transcend from our current existence into a more empowered reality.

Once you understand how powerful you are within, you exponentially increase the power and potentiality of everything outside of you.

Do the best you can, with what you can, while you can, and success in inevitable.

Success is something you experience when you act accordingly. Success is not something you have, it’s something you do.

You have had a dream for so many years. Let today be the day you make a plan for it. Just think about how much more likely you are to hit your target when you finally aim at it.

I dont write books so that you can be fascinated with me. I write them so you can be fascinated with YOU!

We can’t continuously be a society of well-wishers. We must take action to bring those wishes to fruition.

Our moral economy went bankrupt long before our financial one.

An empowered life begins with serious personal questions about oneself. Those answers bare the seeds of success.

Some of the most powerful speeches I have given have been delivered in the dedicated silence of my actions.

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!

How would your life be different if...you had a plan of action towards your goals? Let today be the day...You stop allowing your days to be stolen by busy nothingness and take calculated steps towards your goals.

While spirituality provides an efficient and endless fuel for your mind and body, you must burn that fuel with human action towards your goals, dreams, and desires.

My life changed the day I moved beyond just wishing for things and I started earning them. That is the day I learned that we don't get what we wish for, we get what we work for.

Life may bring you to your knees pray. Then GET UP and participate in the answer. BECOME the remedy! BE the solution!

The universe doesn’t give you what you ask for with your thoughts; it gives you what you demand with your actions. In essence, you don't get what you WANT, you get what you ARE.

Take action! An inch of movement will bring you closer to your goals than a mile of intention.

BREAKING NEWS: You're awesome and designed for success live this day accordingly!

There is something vibrantly beautiful, a glow, that radiates from someone who is actively moving towards their goals and dreams. I’m not sure what it is, but I know I love it, I’m attracted to it, and I surround myself with people who have it. The courageous few who dare to radiate this life essence... those are my people.

The universe makes it possible. Your mindset makes it probable. Your action makes it reality.

The universe makes it possible.Your mindset makes it probable.Your behavior makes it reality.

I set goals…I take chances…I dare to achieve…I win…I lose…I don’t quit…It’s my life and I’m not afraid to LIVE it!I would rather experience the ups and downs of a life I have chosen, than to suffer the regret of a life I have settled for.

Mindset matters... always. The difference found between the victorious and the envious, the successful and the haters; is mindset.

Emancipate yourself from the impotent mindset of,“It is what it is”. Life does not come labeled; it is what you make it. Dream-Plan-Execute!

You want a great life? Well, greatness is on the other side of that fu**ing wall... don't just go over it, go through it! What are you waiting for?

Education is the antidote to many poisons.

The bank of love is never bankrupt.

When we replace a sense of service and gratitude with a sense of entitlement and expectation, we quickly see the demise of our relationships, society, and economy.

Falling in love is a wonderfully terrifying sensation.

Life is too short to not kick fear in the ass and allow yourself to love again.

Every day I’m convinced that I can’t possibly love you more… and every day I’m proven wrong.

Stop dwelling and wishing they'd see the light and treat you better. Instead, forgive yourself for keeping low standards, and love yourself enough to raise them.

There is no saint here. I have attained wisdom from life's experiences... the positive, the negative, the destructive, the nourishing. I have been medicine for some and poison for others. I've learned a lot about heaven from aligning with angels and I have learned a lot about hell from acting like a devil. I offer my scars... what you call "wisdom"... Seeds of knowledge that have been watered by tears and flowers of hope that are nourished by love... It's a garden of experience made beautiful by self acceptance... The insight I have gathered from my comfort of living within both the light and the shadow.

I wish for you the wisdom to realize that you can let go of a past relationship without letting go of the lessons it taught you.

Never again will I justify the scars just because I loved the person holding the knife.

On Valentine’s Day, we are reminded what our relationships could be like the other 364.

I'm water... If you're oil, we'll clash. If you're a flower, I'll nourish you. If you're a light, I'll reflect you. If you can't swim, you'll drown in me. If you're up for adventure, I'm endless entertainment. I'm just being me. If we don't fit, it's not my fault, nor yours. You be you. I'll be me.

Mindset fuels behavior... Great lives, great relationships, great businesses, and great love stories are cultivated from within.

They said, "You'll never find someone like me again!" I thanked them for wishing me well.

If you love someone...feel it, speak it, show it, be it.If you don't feel inspired to show your love in this multidimensional manner...be kind enough to let them go...so they can find someone who will.

Don't be fooled... If they gossip to you, they'll gossip about you.

It took me a long time to learn the difference between working on a healthy relationship and wasting my time on a long goodbye. Never again!

Dads, no matter your relationship with your kid’s mom, honor her this weekend. Mother’s Day isn’t about you or drama. It’s about her and her impact on your ids. Be grateful. Celebrate her… and if you can’t get out of your own way, do it for your kids.

Sometimes we need someone to just listen. Not to try and fix anything or offer alternatives, but to just be there… to listen. An ear that listens can be medicine for a heart that hurts.

Think about the people you love, appreciate, and admire… If today was the last day you could speak with them… What would you say… and what are you waiting for?

Give it time… The weak in character always get tired of pretending. Their true colors will show.

Some people feed your ego, but starve your soul.

No matter how they abuse you toleration is how you abuse yourself.

Pay attention… How a person handles poor cell service, traffic, and spotty wifi is a good indicator of how they’ll behave during relationship challenges.

Some people seem like a bright light during your darkest moment.. A beautiful refuge… but it’s a trap… there is only more pain there. Now that I think about it… I imagine that’s what bugs feel like when they fly into the zapper.

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

We can't undo a single thing we have ever done, but we can make decisions today that propel us to the life we want and towards the healing we need.

‎By reacting from fear instead of responding from love, you inject poison directly into the veins of your relationship.

Protect your enthusiasm from the negativity and fear of others. Never decide to do nothing just because you can only do little. Do what you can. You would be surprised at what "little" acts have done for our world.

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.

Reading the Bible will help you get to know the word, but it’s when you put it down and live your life that you get to know the author.

A very small percentage of the people in this world will actually experience and live today. So many people will be stuck on another day, another time that traumatized them and caused them to spiritually stutter so they miss out on this day.

The purpose of fear is to raise your awareness not to stop your progress.

When you do what you love, the seemingly impossible becomes simply challenging, the laborious becomes purposeful resistance, the difficult loses its edge and is trampled by your progress.

How would your life be different if…You stopped focusing on what you didn’t want and started focusing on what you do want? Let today be the day…You establish a clear intent, make a plan, and take actions towards your intent.

The best way to succeed is to have a specific Intent, a clear Vision, a plan of Action, and the ability to maintain Clarity. Those are the Four Pillars of Success. It never fails!

I promise you nothing is as chaotic as it seems. Nothing is worth diminishing your health. Nothing is worth poisoning yourself into stress, anxiety, and fear.

When was the last time you woke up and realized that today could be the best day of your life?

Today is yours to shape. Create a masterpiece!

If you intend to change, decide what you want and live your life accordingly.

Search for contentment in each person you meet.

Change is the parent of progress.

Today stretches ahead of you waiting to be shaped. You are the sculptor who gets to do the shaping. What today will be like is up to you.

How would your life be different if...You were conscious about the food you ate, the people you surround yourself with, and the media you watch, listen to, or read? Let today be the day...You pay attention to what you feed your mind, your body, and your life. Create a nourishing environment conducive to your growth and well-being today.

Sometimes you're drowning yourself in your own words.

Never confuse someone else's inability to do something with its inability to be done.

Live life with a purpose and live it full out.

Do not compromise yourself and put your goodness in the same impermanent category as whatever circumstance happening. Be the best you in every circumstance.

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

We are mathematical equations where your life is the sum of all choices you've made until now. The good news is you can change the equation so that you start making a difference in your life.

How would your life be different if...you began each day by thanking someone who has helped you? Let today be the day...You make it a point to show your gratitude to others. Send a letter or card, make a call, send a text or email, tell them in person...do whatever you have to do to let them know you appreciate them.

Let today be the day that you become committed in being, in doing, in getting, achieving, in experiencing. Let today be the day that you are committed to being the change you wish to see and living the life you wish to live.

With one kind gesture you can change a life. One person at a time you can change the world. One day at a time we can change everything.

The future is greatly different than your life now, the actions that you take must also be greatly different. You cannot do the same thing and get something different.

Fear has the role we give it. We are able to empower or poison ourselves to whatever degree we want. This is the beauty of our design.

The world is my church. My actions are my prayer. My behavior is my creed.

Today, you have the opportunity to transcend from a disempowered mindset of existence to an empowered reality of purpose-driven living. Today is a new day that has been handed to you for shaping. You have the tools, now get out there and create a masterpiece.

Stop allowing your outdated ideas to hinder your progress. How would your life be different if you became open to new information that can refine, improve, enhance your way of thinking, and empower your way of living?

How would your life be different if...You didn’t wait for someone else to fix a problem or social issue? Let today be the day...You take up a cause that you feel in your heart and give your time and efforts towards that cause.

The way you live your day is a sentence in the story of your life. Each day you make the choice whether the sentence ends with a period, question mark, or exclamation point.

Acceptance makes an incredible fertile soil for the seeds of change.

Each day is a brand new episode of your life. If nothing is changing, you're watching reruns. Mindset matters... If you want something different, DO something different. "Same crap, different day" doesn't describe the day; it describes your attitude towards it.

Your fear is 100% dependent on you for its survival.

I don't have time, energy, or interest in hating the haters; I'm too busy loving the lovers.

Although initially only few in numbers, it seems my gray hairs have launched an effective peer-pressure campaign intended to convert the others.

If the self-help books worked, it would be a shrinking industry not a growing one.

Understanding the beauty of our humanity unlocks the power of our spirituality.

I feel keeping a promise to yourself is a direct reflection of the love you have for yourself. I used to make promises to myself and find them easy to break. Today, I love myself enough to not only make a promise to myself, but I love myself enough to keep that promise

You were not meant for a mundane or mediocre life!

Never question the power of one! Throughout history it has been the actions of only one person who has in inspired the movement of change.

Don’t try to fit me in a box… My life is not one dimensional. I’m the summer breeze and the hurricane… I’m the serene lake and the raging ocean… I’m the gentle poet and the rough warrior… I can build and I can destroy... I can romance and I can ravage... I can be wise and I can be silly... I can and WILL be everything that the length, depth, and breadth of life will allow... KNOW THIS! Your labels don’t limit me… they limit your experience of me. Don’t confuse the two.

For me, the most interesting people seem to have the bumpiest pasts. I prefer to connect with someone who has experienced the struggles, battles, and casualties of life’s journey. There is beauty, wisdom, and truth to be found in the scars.

I will not play it safe! I want to experience the length, depth, and breadth of life. I'm not just here for the victories... I'm here for the scars.

I will not play it safe!I want to experience the length, depth, and breadth of life. I'm not just here for the victories... I'm here for the scars.

I’m not going to tear you down… If you’re bad-mouthing me, you’re already down.

There are some people who will surprise you with their perseverance... People who survive through the tears... Strong spirits who prove you wrong if you make the mistake of betting against them.

When you pursue your goals with passion, you will attract people who love you; but you’ll also attract haters. I’m okay with that; I welcome it. I don’t want to live life as a spectator. I’ve learned that if no one is cheering you on and/or booing you; it means you're not in the game.

What was my path to success? Well, there were some steps forward, some back, some to the side... maybe it wasn't a path, but more of a dance.

Get out of your own way... What we call 'lack of willpower' is actually just losing an argument with an outdated version of yourself.

It's amazing to me how hard people work to maintain a life they hate.

There are some people whose turbulent waves of behaviors will drown you no matter how well you think you can swim.

When civility is illusory, war is inevitable.

Maybe we feel empty because we spend so much of our own time watching other people live their lives, chase their dreams, express their love, and navigate their relationships. And when we turn off our TV or put down our phone... We've nourished nothing of our own.

Take accountability... Blame is the water in which many dreams and relationships drown.

Resolutions: So many will fail; NOT because they didn't set goals, but because they didn't set behaviors.

You'll drive yourself crazy trying to control something that isn't yours to control. Let go. Free yourself. Allow your mind and energy to focus on something positive… to build something beautiful.

The tragic brilliance of politics and control is found in the ability to get the masses arguing over which poison they should drink.

Only insecure boys will belittle a woman. The greatest way to "man-up" is to empower women.

There is no greater force for change than people inspired to live a better life.

The universe is so well balanced that the mere fact that you have a problem also serves as a sign that there is a solution.

CHANGE: Don’t just talk about it, go out there and do it. Don’t just meditate about it, go out there and create it. Don’t just pray about it go out there and take action; participate in the answering of your own prayer. If you want change, get out there and live it. - Steve Maraboli

Don’t ask me to apologize for holding up a mirror. If you don’t like what it’s reflecting, take accountability and change it.

It’s amazing how drastically your life can change when you stop accepting shit you hate.

By choosing healthy over skinny you are choosing self-love over self-judgment. You are beautiful!

It's hard not to stand in awe and enchantment with the beauty in which nature expresses herself.

Life is like an ocean; an endlessly elegant dance between serenity and chaos. And while idly watching this can be so beautiful, that’s not what life is for. Don’t just stand on the shore… jump in!

Don’t give up! Remember, we love to be enchanted by flowers in bloom… but don’t forget that it took many rainy days to achieve such beauty. Your bloom is coming!

Friends are medicine for a wounded heart and vitamins for a hopeful soul.

The wiser I become, the less I think beauty has anything to do with appearance.

Map out lofty goals… include reasonable checkpoints along the way... refine, improve, and enhance your behavior in alignment with your goals…. that is the dynamic of true leadership and the formula for success.

The art of effective leadership is about navigating the dynamics of growth and success… holding a vision and leading a team, but arriving at the same time.

Stagnancy will suffocate a business… Leadership must be dynamic and evolving to ensure successful growth, enhancement, and longevity.

With automobile accidents, mechanical failure is seldom the cause; and most often, operator error. I find the same to be true with corporate failings…. the people are rarely the issue… the shortcoming is most often found in the leadership.

Leadership is a mindset in which one is unapologetically driven towards their goals and in behaving accordingly, inspires those around them to join in.

Leadership is the bridge of integrity that connects goals, desires, and actions.

It has been my experience that those who claim to be the most spiritual are usually the least so.

I keep hearing about a spiritual awakening, but I feel what we need instead, is a human one. It would be wonderful and empowering to become free from the disillusionment and nonsense being sold to us from gurus for centuries.

Actions reveal… If you have to TELL me you’re honest, caring, generous, spiritual, kind, loving, and a good person... you’re doing it wrong.

I don't know what's wrong with this world, but I do know what's right with it: Love. I have studied enough history to see that no matter how cruel the behavior of tyrants and no matter how dark the moments have been, Love has always prevailed. Always.

When people tell me they can’t afford to join a gym, I tell them to go outside; planet Earth is a gym and we’re already members. Run, climb, sweat, and enjoy all of the natural wonder that is available to you.

It is love’s nature to be expressed.

It's a cycle... Religion is a source of relief for those who seek to anesthetize the pain that comes from following its beliefs.

The path to misery is paved by the tears of those trying to make others happy.

I feel like when I give trust that isn't earned, I receive hurt that isn't deserved.

A lot of books in the self-help section of your bookstore really belong in the fiction section.

Sometimes the greatest storms bring out the greatest beauty… Life can be a storm, but your hope is a rainbow and your friends and family are the gold.

Being healthy is a way of life. It’s not just about what you feed your body; it’s about what you feed your mind and the social environment you keep. Make healthy food choices, exercise your body and brain, and choose your friends wisely.

The only way you can own this moment is to evict the victim mentality from the dwelling of your mind.

Harness the power of today. Seize the blessings of today! Make something happen, enhance your life, make someone laugh, help a friend, love, love, love!

Most people throw away their personal power... If you want to know where, look at who and what you hate, blame, resent, and envy.

I'm grateful for past betrayals, heartaches, and challenges... I thought they were breaking me; but they were sculpting me.

Your dream is a visualized reflection of your potential and only YOU have the ability to bring it to life... you are more than just the dreamer, you are the point of origin for its reality.

September 11… I will never forget feeling scared and vulnerable… I will never forget feeling the deep sad loss of so many lives… I will never forget the smell of the smoke that reached across the water and delivered a deep feeling of doom into my gut… I will never forget feeling the boosted sense of unity and pride… I will never forget seeing the courageous actions of so many men and women… I will never forget seeing people of all backgrounds working together in community… I will never forget seeing what hate can destroy… I will never forget seeing what love can heal…

You can't force someone to care... You can only come to the realization that if you stay, they'll keep hurting you. I wish you the wisdom and courage to walk away and begin the healing process.

Mindset Matters: Cut away the nonsense and cultivate an environment conducive to your personal well-being. Forgive yourself and others. Have the courage to move on. The battle is long... and in the end, it's only with yourself.

Relationships: It takes wisdom to know when to turn the page and courage to know when to close the book.

I believe in unconditional love... I believe in dangerous unselfishness... I believe in daring to achieve... I believe in making mistakes... I believe in helping others... I believe in moving on... I believe in passionate romance... I believe in living the fullness of this human experience... I believe in ME...

I want love, passion, honesty, and companionship... sex that drives me crazy and conversation that drives me sane.

You are my favorite book. I immerse myself in your story and fall in love with each page. I will never be able to truly express to you how much I admire and cherish who you are. Nor will I be able to articulate the level of honor I feel to find myself included amongst the pages being written with each passing day. I love you. Thank you.

How do I shape my reality? I use wisdom and strategy to shift the possible to the probable... Then, effort and consistency will bridge the probable to the inevitable. Success is a behavior... I make sure my mindset and actions are working in alignment.

Wishful thinking does wonders for a wishful mind; but in the end, reality always has the final say.

Beliefs will nourish or poison depending on their compatibility with reality.

It is amazing how your life changes when you embrace the reality that you're better than the life you've settled for.

For most people, blaming others is a subconscious mechanism for avoiding accountability. In reality, the only thing in your way is YOU.

The wise will admire you. The wishful will envy you. The weak will hate you. This is the reality for those who dare to be epic.

Words are the tools we use to express our reality.

The critic is to art what the limp penis is to sex.

What we instill in our children will be the foundation upon which they build their future.

One of life's great challenges is getting out of your own way after a divorce or breakup... Heartache and anger make you feel like enemies, but your children need you to be a team. Unfortunately, few rise to this challenge, and the children pay an emotional debt they did not incur.

Parental Alienation is an emotional act of violence that is aimed at an adult, but critically wounds a child.

There is nothing better for your family than for you to be at your best, for you to be at your own peace, for you to be showing them in every way who you are, and what you stand for.

Don't be so quick to count out the teenagers. Some of the world's greatest changes, brilliant poetry, and innovations have come from the teenage mind.

Even though she would dream of love, respect, and unfettered romance... it was a cyclical dilemma in her life that she seemed to be most attracted to poisonous men.

From warm meals, to daily exercise, to healthcare; one can't help but wonder how our society would be different if tended to the elderly as we do to our imprisoned.

Great changes in our society are always inspired and set in motion by one person. Be that person today.

Don't look for society to give you permission to be yourself.

I love connecting with people who have been through the fire and come out stronger and wiser. Using their experiences to inspire and empower others. Those are my people.

Failure is a mindset, not a circumstance. I let my experiences strengthen me. You think I fell on my face, but I’m down here doing pushups.

We are designed with a dreaming brain and a hopeful spirit; it is our nature to envision the life of our dreams. And while dreaming comes easy to us, we must never forget that it takes strength, dedication, and courageous action to bring that dream to life

When you stop existing and you start truly living, each moment of the day comes alive with the wonder and synchronicity.

It’s time for a spring cleaning of your thoughts, it’s time to stop to just existing it’s time to start living.

I have come to believe that our innate purpose is nothing more than to be the greatest version of ourselves. It is a process of refinement, improvement, and enhancement. When you are aligned with this process and living your purpose, you have the potential of creating something amazing.

We have an internal check and balance system. By design we are so filled with possibility, opportunity, with greatness that when we live small, within the bottom of our capability, we innately know we should be living greater than that, and it creates a disconnect inside that leads us to feeling empty, unhappy, maybe even depressed.

I find that I am most happy and healthy when I am living in alignment with my goals, dreams, and principles.

Most of us would benefit greatly from recognizing and accepting the difference between our history and our destiny.

I've learned that if someone threatens my peace of mind, self-respect, or self-worth... I must walk away. I owe it to myself... I owe it to my future.

My love for you spans over the lines of my past, present, and future. You are what I love remembering, what I love experiencing, and what I love looking forward to.

It's not just about what I can SEE for our future, or humanity; it's about what I can DO for our future and humanity.

The truth of who you are and what you believe is projected in your behavior. Everything else, either positive or negative, is a mix of stories, lies, delusions, and manipulations.

It has been noted that actions speak louder than words. Truth is, I have found that during many situations in life, words are just noise... and actions are the ONLY things that speak.

Your words say it to me... Your actions tell it to me.

Don’t let someone’s words blind you from their behavior.

Pray. Not just with your words, but with your actions.

Words reveal your beliefs and intentions. Actions reveal your character. When they are in alignment, they reveal your greatest life.

Sometimes not getting what you want is God's greatest blessing.

When I look back, I realize I was praying for something God had already given me.

In moments of prayer, people tend to pose as a critic and point out perceived flaws in God's art.

Each day carries in the blessings of God and you have unlimited access to all it offers.

Life is a balanced system of learning, adjusting, and evolving. Whether pleasure or pain; every situation in your life serves a purpose. It is up to us to recognize what that purpose could be.

Remember when your curiosity inspired your investigative mind to explore and learn… you weren’t bogged down with resentment, cynicism, and emotional baggage… just think about how great it would be to return to that mindset of unencumbered learning and adventurous living… you are just one choice away from that life… choose to let go of the infertile past… go live your adventure!

We’re all ridiculous… all of us. It’s as though we use a lit torch to search for light. You are enough. Know this and proceed through life accordingly.

Some people seem like a bright light during your darkest moment... a beautiful refuge... but it's a trap... there is only more pain there. Now that I think about it... I imagine that's what bugs feel like when they fly into the zapper.

As jealousy entered, trust left... and their dream of a relationship began to wither into a nightmare... a nightmare in which love just wasn't enough.

Let’s agree to be honest from the start. I would rather feel the disappointment that comes with the realization that we are incompatible than to feel the pain and betrayal that comes with finding out that you're full of crap.

Relax. Refresh. Renew. Play. Sing. Laugh. Enjoy. Forgive. Dance. Love. Hug. Share. Kiss. Create. Explore. Hope. Listen. Dare. Trust. Dream. Learn. TODAY!

Being in a relationship doesn’t entitle you to anything. You don’t get what you expect, you get what you create.

If you want to be with someone, be with them! Don't make excuses, cause drama, or make them fight for a spot in your life. Express your love and commitment with words and actions. And if you don't feel inspired to show your love this way, be kind enough to let them go... so they can find someone who will.

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.

Just because she has high standards, doesn't mean she’s high maintenance. Don’t confuse the two.

I know my worth. Never again will I condemn myself to the prison of a bad relationship.

It is so beautiful to see a relationship that is nourished and fueled by a love expressed with action.

Just because you are available for a relationship, doesn't mean you are ready for one.

As we grow in our family… let’s not forget that we, as a couple, still need attention… let’s not lose grip of the excitement of our flirtation and our passion for each other… while we tend to the 'we,' let’s not forget the 'us'.

In my relationship, she is my woman and I am her man. This designation is not one of ownership, but of passion. It is a loving and passionate expression that reflects the truth that out of over seven billion people in the world, she is my ONE.

I feel so grateful to discover that each new day brings me the opportunity to watch the sunrise and fall in love with you again.

It is surprising to me that one of the great crimes of history has gone unnoticed; the abduction of god by religions. This slight-of-hand has been the cause of countless blood-shed and has been found at the root of innumerable acts of evil. The argument continues today, as to which religion the true god belongs, when what would be most healing and empowering is to free god from the shackles of religious limitation and judgment. It is by emancipating god from the ignorance of our ancestors that we become empowered to explore and express our own relationship with what god may or may not be.

If you want drama, settle for the one who will change your relationship status. If you want love, wait for the one who will change your life.

God doesn’t care how well you can preach about forgiveness… what He looks at is your behavior when presented the opportunity to practice it.

If forgiveness is medicine for the soul, then gratitude is vitamins.

Love moves in sync with the cadence of forgiveness, sings in tune with the melody of acceptance, and dances in rhythm with the music of companionship.

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

The people who are happy for your happiness and sad for your sadness... keep them around.

Don’t let your idea of God be limited to the imagination of others. Don’t let them define your God and don’t let them tell you how to express your faith.

If I do not personify God, you call me an atheist. But I do not personify God because I refuse to limit God to the boundaries of my imagination... or yours.

Just because I don't believe in YOUR God doesn't mean I don't believe in God. I just choose not to be bound by the limits of your imagination or those of your ancestors.

One of life's challenging realizations is that sometimes you outgrow your friends.

Cutting out drama... Healthy mind and body choices... Intent followed by action... Keeping real friends and letting go of the pretends... Livin' clean for Twenty Seventeen!

Through the twist and turns of life, I find myself so grateful for my friends. Even though sometimes the days can seem so dark, and my heart can feel so hurt, I am never alone; my friends are beside me.

Nothing is so unpopular as positive change amongst friends. It seems when you change for the better, the people around you will be inspired to change… But only after trying their hardest to make you stop. Live your truth and don't EVER let anyone dilute your power to change!

Friendship is a beautiful blessing. You may love your friends and they may love you, but that doesn’t mean they should have unexamined influence in all areas of your life.

By surrounding yourself with people who are positive, caring, intelligent, loving, and open-minded, you create a personal environment that is conducive to your emotional and personal growth. By surrounding yourself with the opposite, you create a personal environment that is conducive to the opposite. Choose accordingly.

Be mindful of your social environment. By nature, the group you hang-out with will develop a common behavior and mindset. This behavior usually gravitates towards the lowest common denominator. Choose your group wisely.

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

Many companies expect loyal customers without providing loyal service. This has been the visionary failure of countless corporations.

When you put yourself in the customer’s shoes and begin your dialog from there, an immediate connection develops that stems beyond basic commerce and encourages loyalty.

As a business leader you have to ask yourself, “Am I creating a consumer environment that is conducive to loyalty?” If the answer is no, FIX IT!

The efforts of a leader will be emulated. Depending on the quality of appointed leadership, this can be medicine or poison to a living business.

The most successful businesses have leaders that see the correlation between customer service and sales… not as separate departments, but as complimentary components for growth.

Most board meetings amount to little more than intellectual masturbation. They are ideas that cause thrills, chills, and satisfaction, but there is no impregnation. Nothing is ever born of them. It’s intellectual masturbation.

A sense of entitlement is a cancerous thought process that is void of gratitude and can be deadly to our relationships.

Everyone wants to look great in the summer... Don't just dream, take action!Your journey to being a summer yummer starts today.

How would your life be different if you decided to live your dream instead of holding onto your nightmare? Let today be the day you free yourself from the fears that are holding you back and act upon the dream you've always had.

The dream is yours… why are you asking others to validate or nourish it? Your journey must be self-propelled. It must be fueled from within.

My life was forever changed the day I realized there was a big difference between having a dream and chasing it.
