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!

 

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.

 

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.

 

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?

 

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

 

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.

 

Sometimes you’re drowning yourself in your own words.

 

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

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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’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.

 

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

 

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.

 

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.

 

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 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.

 

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.

 

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’.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Dare to exhaust yourself with all the opportunities this day offers.

 

Instructions for successful living: Dream it. Plan it. Do it. Repeat.

 

The magic that turns dreams into reality is YOU! When you are inspired by a dream, create a good plan; that turns it into a goal. Then, live your life in a way that will bring that dream, that goal, to life. The magic is you.

 

Don’t limit yourself to someone else’s opinion of your capabilities. Be you. Dream, plan, execute!

 

Get out of your own way… stop the paralysis by analysis… dream your dream… then, WAKE UP and bring it to life!

 

With no action to nourish it, your dream becomes a fantasy.

 

Sometimes the memory of someone is better than the reality of them.

 

For me, the most magical truth of this universe is that no magic is required.

 

There is magic in this wonderful life, but only if you choose to do more than just exist; the magic is found when we choose to live.

 

If your salvation was dependent on your ability to read and understand scripture, Jesus would have been an author.

 

When you’re too religious, you tend to point your finger to judge instead of extending your hand to help.

 

Give freely to the world these gifts of love and compassion. Do not concern yourself with how much you receive in return, just know in your heart it will be returned.

 

I don’t want my life to be defined by what is etched on a tombstone. I want it to be defined by what is etched in the lives and hearts of those I’ve touched.

 

Today I will take the opportunity to do unanticipated good.

 

Embrace love and compassion with all your spirit. Understand that they never hurt or offend, they just heal and empower.

 

Help people help themselves. Don’t judge, just help. In this process, be cautious to simply point them in the right direction and help them get moving. Don’t make your journey theirs, nor make their journey yours.

 

Spread your happiness to others and let them spread theirs to you.

 

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.

 

How would your life be different if your religion was love, and your spirituality was governed by kindness? How would the world be different if everyone did this?

 

Do you think peace of mind can be found in holding a grudge… or harboring resentment… or wallowing in thoughts of what could have been? Me neither.

 

Over-analysis is a dream killer. Sometimes you can drown yourself in your own thoughts.

 

When we’re not true to our thoughts and not true to the feelings we have deep inside, we find ourselves unhappy. Be courageous enough to align your life with your feelings, desires, and sense of purpose.

 

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

 

Let go of the people who dull your shine, poison your spirit, and bring you drama. Cancel your subscription to their issues.

 

New levels bring new devils. Stay unapologetically committed to your goals and let go of anyone who poisons your spirit.

 

Country music is the poetry of the American spirit.

 

The “growing” we attribute to becoming more mature, could be more accurately described as “shrinking,” as we cut away the nonsense that emotionally weighs us down.

 

Our love is sharpened by the stone of our challenges and strengthened by the struggles of our growth.

 

Some people will try to talk you out of chasing your goals; not because they think you’ll fail, but because they are scared you’ll succeed.

 

Stop using, “easier said than done”, as an excuse to not change! Bringing your life to a higher level is challenging; get over it and rise to the challenge!

 

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.

 

If you can see the vision of your goal clearly, you can plan and map effectively, and navigate efficiently.

 

Get out of your own way… stop the paralysis by analysis… dream your dream… then, WAKE UP and bring it to life!

 

Don’t choose to walk the well-worn path to regret. Be amongst the few who dare to follow their dreams!

 

Stop throwing away days, weeks, months, and years by simply day-dreaming about what you wish your life would be.

 

Get-rich-quick schemes are for the lazy & unambitious. Respect your dreams enough to pay the full price for them.

 

Your dreams are a poetic reflection of your soul’s wishes. Be courageous enough to follow them.

 

Be amongst the few who dare to follow their dreams.

 

No more excuses or procrastination! Stop allowing your days to be stolen by busy nothingness and take calculated steps towards your goals.

 

Resolutions are most often empty promises for those who have an abundance of dreams, but refuse to wake up and live them.

 

The journey of success requires a map for effective navigation. Establish a destination by defining what you want. Once you have a destination, take physical action by making choices that move you towards that destination.

 

We’re a society that creates super heroes who aren’t really super heroes. They are just regular people who live in alignment with their goals and dreams. They don’t just talk about it, the LIVE it. You can choose to do the same.

 

Your actions must reflect your goals in order to experience true success. Don’t just wish, DO! Don’t just dream, BE! Let today be the day you create a plan and follow it.

 

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

 

Be creative and daring in your dreams and the steps you take to bring them to fruition.

 

Do not question your ability or worthiness. God is a universe of purpose-driven balance. If you have been called to action, it is because you have it within you to rise to the challenge of your calling. Now, RISE to it!

 

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!

 

Don’t let the agony, regret, or fog of yesterday blind you to the fact that each new day carries with it a plethora of opportunities to move your life into the right direction.

 

Each day brings a fresh opportunity for you to set the standard of how dedicated and committed you are to your needs, wants, goals, and relationships.

 

TAKE ACTION! Wanting is not enough; Act upon your goals! If somebody was watching your day-to-day behavior, would they be able to see what you’re working towards; what your goals are? If the answer is no, FIX IT!

 

Your life is a reflection of how effectively you balance potential and kinetic energy.

 

Excuses are a time thief. Have a goal, accept responsibility, and take action!

 

It’s called an ‘accomplishment’, not an ‘intent-ishment’. You’ve got to BE it to SEE it. NO MORE EXCUSES – Decide what you want, create a plan, and get your ass out there!

 

Don’t throw away another day! No more procrastinating! Only YOU can make it happen. So, UN-ASS the couch and make it happen!

 

Every step towards your dream today is a step away from your regret tomorrow.

 

At every given moment we are absolutely perfect for what is required for our journey.

 

Nostalgia is your brain’s way of photoshopping the blemishes of your past

 

Nostalgia is your brain’s way of photoshopping the blemishes of your past.

 

Your brain activates a magnificent system to store memories as reference points for you to learn from… not to create a past for you to be stuck in.

 

When you don’t have a vision or a plan for the future, your mind has no choice but to dwell in the past.

 

I can’t”… “It’s not possible”… “I’m not good enough”… ~ These are lies the demons of your past use to scare away the possibilities of the present.

 

Cut away the nonsense, the drama, the regret, the scars of the past, and make a decision to no longer let them govern your happiness and freedom.

 

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

 

Embracing your true self radiates a natural beauty that cannot be diluted or ignored. Confident, powerful, untamable, badass you!

 

Pay attention to what you pray for. Your prayers are not just a reflection of your desires and hopes; they are a guide for personal behavior. PRAY it, BE it, and you will SEE it.

 

The longer you chase the wrong person, the further you travel in the wrong direction. You’re better than that.

 

You’re not asking me for advice, you’re asking me for permission.

 

You want my advice? Put down your phone. Hug her from behind and kiss the back of her neck. Entwine your fingers with hers…. You’re welcome.

 

For all its accolades and celebrated recognition as sound guidance, I have personally noticed that sometimes, ‘follow your heart,’ is really bad advice.

 

It’s bad when they don’t treat you right… but it’s tragic that you continue to allow it. Let today be the day you love yourself enough to say, NEVER AGAIN!

 

Just because you are available for a relationship, doesn’t mean you are ready for one. Sometimes you need a break from external relationships to nourish the internal one.

 

Sometimes we just need to be heard… There are times in life when being heard leads to being healed.

 

Never underestimate the healing power of silliness and absurdity.

 

Two Immeasurable Things: The healing power of love and the destructive power of hate.

 

Let today be the day you learn the grace of letting go and the power of moving on.

 

Don’t let the evil actions of broken people define your view of our world! Don’t be terrorized into a diluted, hopeless reality.

 

Don’t let the evil actions of broken people define your view of our world! Don’t be terrorized into a diluted, hopeless reality.

 

What we call consciousness is our ability to perceive stimuli and to file it within the parameters of our personal story.

 

So grateful for those who truly love me… they hear everything I don’t say.

 

Wisdom that is not acted upon is just philosophy… but when lived as a verb, wisdom will be the foundation of your success.

 

There is no ‘secret’ to success.There is a BEHAVIOR to success.Decide what you want and act accordingly.Dream. Plan. Execute.

 

Without action to back them, your affirmations become the soundtrack of your personal imprisonment; the creed of your stagnancy.

 

I find that being considerate of others and keeping what I say and what I do in agreement makes for a great night’s sleep.

 

Stop walking through the motions of a conditioned routine and start consciously taking action on your visualized intent.

 

Free yourself from fruitlessly worrying about things you can’t control and put your energy towards the things you can. Seize the day and take effective action on things you can change.

 

When you pray, you are speaking to yourself. When you take action, you are speaking to God.

 

What are you waiting for? How long will you keep waiting? Don’t sit back and wait for life to happen to you. Have a plan and take the needed steps to create what you want.

 

Have a clear goal and plan. Waste no effort in your journey. Be strong, committed, and effective and you will experience a level of success few will ever know.

 

Success is not about your techniques, it’s not solely about the wisdom or the knowledge you have, it’s about your mindset and your actions.

 

Take ACTION! When we DO NOT take action, our potentiality becomes the soil that houses the seeds of our regret.

 

Focusing on what you don’t want instead of focusing on what do want gets you nowhere. Negativity makes a horrible motivator. Decide what you want and move in that direction.

 

Happiness, success, peace, and love are experienced when we live accordingly. They are not something you have, they are something you DO.

 

Let your words merely reiterate what your actions have already stated.

 

The greatest relationships are those in which love is not treated as a noun, but as a verb; with romance not viewed as a burden, but lived as a poem.

 

You gotta be in the NOW to create and experience the WOW!

 

Your purpose on earth is to participate in this human experience and to seize the opportunity within each day to reveal the greatest version of yourself.

 

If not to shape me into a better man; a better husband, a better father, a better son, a better brother, a better friend… then all of my experience, success, and education will have been a selfish waste.

 

If life is a poem, be the poet. If life is a story, be the author. If life is an adventure, be the hero. To live any other way is a waste of this experience we call life.

 

Happiness, Success, Excellence: They are not something you get for knowing the path; they are something you experience by walking it.

 

Stop focusing on what you don’t want; it’s a tremendous waste of time and energy. Instead, start focusing on what you do want. This is the only way to create a plan of action which will enable you to experience the life you envision.

 

Spirituality is the poetry of our experience. Science is the gauge of our reality. Together, they create the essence of our humanity.

 

Learn to say “please” and “thank you” in multiple languages.

 

It seems so simple now, but it took me a long time to figure out that happiness is experienced when we finally give ourselves permission to let go of the things that make us sad.

 

It’s sad that we get attached to the way certain people abuse us. It took me a long time and a lot of heartache to realize that it’s okay to miss someone, but not want them back.

 

I miss you so much! And while this hole in my heart will never be filled again, I find comfort knowing that you are nestled within the loving embrace of God… and that I was blessed to know you… even if only for a little while.

 

Some people behave as though they are having an allergic reaction to feelings.

 

Don’t keep all your feelings sheltered – express them. Don’t EVER let life shut you up.

 

Be the type of man a wife would cherish and a child would admire.

 

Be careful! If the opinion of others is your gauge, then it is also your goal. If you concern yourself with what others think, then you can only go as far as others think. You’re better than that!

 

Never again will I underestimate the greatness inside of me just because of the hate and limited thinking inside of others.

 

Stop allowing your outdated ideas to hinder your progress. Become open to new information that can refine, improve, and enhance your way of thinking. This will empower your way of living.

 

Hate is self-inflicted torture. It hungers for revenge, damage, division, and violence, but is never satiated. Hate is a psychological hell to which we condemn ourselves and endeavor to burn others.

 

I will never forget seeing what hate can destroy… I will never forget seeing what love can heal…

 

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

 

The only thing sadder than hateful people’s willingness to drag us down to their level, is our willingness to oblige.

 

When you hate something, you chain yourself to it.

 

How would your life be different if instead of spending your energy and focus on hating those who hate you, you spent your energy and focus on loving those who love you?

 

Judge me if you want, but at the end of my life I choose to have memories not regrets.

 

Am I afraid of ghosts? My life experience has taught me to be much more afraid of what a human is capable of in broad daylight than what a ghost is capable of at night.

 

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.

 

Ladies, most of you have no idea how beautiful you are. Don’t let mean words from an insecure soul blind you from the truth of your beauty. You are beautiful by design… just the way you are.

 

Those who have the ability to be grateful are the ones who have the ability to achieve greatness.

 

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

 

The only permission, the only validation, and the only opinion that matters in our quest for greatness is our own.

 

The truth is simple.Lies are complex.The truth comes in sentences.Lies… in paragraphs.Pay attention to this when someone is communicating with you.

 

Sure I find it very liberating and empowering now; but at first, it took me a while to get used to the uncomfortably vulnerable feeling that comes along with being honest.

 

Outdated ideas inevitably lead to outdated behaviors. When ignorance and hate enter the room, progress makes its exit.

 

I find few things more personally enriching than exploring the parameters of my own ignorance.

 

Whenever someone introduces themselves as a Master or a Guru, I immediately wonder…If those are the lies they tell themselves, what lies will they tell me?

 

Lie to yourself if you want, but you’re not fooling me. Your excuses tell me that you didn’t really want it.

 

Your silence is loudest to those who love you most.

 

The writers of religious scriptures and texts would have done humanity a grand service if they would have used just one sentence, in one of the pages out of the thousands, to support respectful and peaceful disagreement.

 

I am in love with the serendipitous poetry with which this universe expresses itself.

 

There is no problem this universe can hand you that you aren’t innately designed to solve. If it has been handed to you, it can be handled by you. This is the brilliant effectiveness of our design.

 

It’s such an amazing awakening to realize that nothing in this universe happens TO YOU, 100% happens FOR YOU.

 

The problem that we have with a victim mentality is that we forget to see the blessings of the day. Because of this, our spirit is poisoned instead of nourished.

 

You express the truth of your character, your dedication to your goals, and your commitment to your relationships with the choice of your actions.

 

You express the truth of your character with the choice of your actions.

 

You can speak with spiritual eloquence, pray in public, and maintain a holy appearance… but it is your behavior that will reveal your true character.

 

Life had broken her; just as it had broken him. But when they got together, their pieces became whole. And they continued on their journey, together, mended as one.

 

It is an unnecessary burden to make negative judgmental assumptions about others. We are all on a journey.

 

You were born to journey in the direction of your purpose. Anything that halts your progress is contrary to your design.

 

Pay attention: Are your daily choices in alignment with the life you want for yourself? If not, nothing will change.

 

If you want change and don’t make choices that reflect the change, you are making a choice to keep things the same.

 

Life is a treasure-chest of opportunities, choices, and time. Unfortunately, the choice many people make is to argue about the details of the chest instead of seizing the treasure within it.

 

Sometime people are disempowered because they subconsciously identify themselves by their temporary circumstances instead of connecting with their innate value and truth.

 

A healthy choice for your overall health and well-being is one of a happy and positive disposition.

 

I could see that others had confused her disorganized passion for volatility. In reality, she was a scrumptious mess; deliciously majestic. She was on her way to great things in this life.

 

True love has taught me that there is a difference between a woman getting naked for you and one revealing herself to you.

 

When you judge a woman by her appearance, it doesn’t define her, it defines you. Ladies, never allow yourself to be defined by someone’s inability to appreciate your unique beauty.

 

Religion imprisons God. By its own accord, if we are made in the image and likeness of God, then His condemnation of the sinner is an act of hypocrisy. I believe God to be greater than that.

 

We each contribute our own book to the great library of humanity.

 

It took me a long time and a lot of heartache to realize that just because you love someone doesn’t mean they deserve it.

 

The knives of betrayal and drama cut deep and hurt… but they also trim away the nonsense and reveal your true friends.

 

Bitterness and resentment are a bottomless well. They can only be healed by the phenomenon of someone else’s sorrow rising to your level of pain… it never happens – save yourself endless hurt.

 

If you want something different, do something different. “Same crap, different day” doesn’t describe the day; it describes your attitude towards it.

 

Gratitude opens our eyes… We are often praying for something God has already given us.

 

I am grateful to those who have betrayed me… They thought they were just stabbing me in the back, but they were also cutting me free from their poisonous life.

 

Gratitude is the bridge that merges your love with longevity. It is the vital ingredient for a lasting relationship.

 

How would your life be different if you celebrated the things in your life that you do have instead of lamenting things that you don’t? Let today be the day you embrace gratitude and appreciation and let go of entitlement and expectation.

 

I am ambitious. I set goals; not because I am ungrateful for what I have, but because I am happy with who I am. I enjoy the experience of rising above my perceived limitations and discovering new levels of my capabilities.

 

Appreciate your mom. She is wiser than you think and stronger than you know. Be thankful.

 

Beware: It is a quick transition from a nourishing sense of gratitude to a poisonous sense of entitlement.

 

I am so grateful for the many times God has shown me the mercy of not giving me what I want.

 

A mindset of gratitude lifts the veil of bitterness and allows you to see beauty and possibility.

 

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

 

They may call your victories, “lucky”…They may mock your failures…They may laugh at your heartache…But still, they will never be happy. This is the cyclical emptiness of the hater mindset.

 

Your labels don’t limit me… they limit your experience of me.

 

Letting go is to love yourself enough to look at the past with a different perspective. It is to accept that you can’t change the past, but that you can change whether your perspective poisons or nourishes you.

 

I knew you were the one when I realized your smile was my heaven, your laugh my favorite song, and your arms my home.

 

We’ll all be better off the day we stop letting unhappy, unsuccessful people tell us how to be happy and successful. You already know the way… follow it.

 

Happiness is found in the simplest of things. Happiness is found in gratitude, in a kept promise, in a good conversation, in love, in friendship, in an achieved goal, in a fond memory; in all the simple magnificence of life.

 

You will always define events in a manner which will validate your agreement with reality.

 

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

 

You can still make today the day you change yourself, love yourself, forgive yourself, respect yourself, honor yourself, cherish yourself, admire yourself, express yourself, be true to yourself… It’s never too late!

 

Pretend those around you are deaf to your words. Let your actions speak and communicate your feelings and intentions. This way of living ensures the potency of your message is delivered and serves as a gauge against our verbal nonsense.

 

Walk away from gossip and verbal defamation. Speak only the good you know of other people and encourage others to do the same.

 

Remember:It’s all in your head… all of it.If you don’t like the story, change it.If the people around don’t accept your new story; change them.

 

God is the story nature tells to those who are listening.

 

You unlock the door to greater levels of excellence and success when you accept who you are. It is from the point of acceptance that we can create a masterful life.

 

When I accept myself, I am freed from the burden of needing you to accept me.

 

Her love… so unconditional, so unapologetic; reminds me that I am worth so much more than the standard I have set for myself.

 

Change is nature’s way of offering us the opportunity to explore the parameters of our humanity and potential. Don’t fight it, embrace it. There is a magical experience awaiting those who embrace this natural process.

 

It would be ridiculous to hold your breath and blame others for your inability to breathe. In the same sense, it is ridiculous to live an unaligned life and blame God for your misfortune.

 

I don’t know when my time on earth will be up; but I DO know that today, I am one day closer. You can bet I’m going to make this day count! Will you?

 

We must remember balance and moderation. Patience can be spiritually enriching and virtuous… but when taken in excess, it turns to procrastination, the poison of inaction.

 

The greatest leaders can inspire you and lead the way without ever having to give you their back.

 

Sometimes love can be both the punishment and the crime.

 

Behavior speaks… When you need money, the church tells you to pray. When the church needs money, they pass around a basket.

 

I fell in love… she caused a type of smile within me that nothing else can or has.

 

Poisonous relationships can alter our perception. You can spend many years thinking you’re worthless… but you’re not worthless, you’re unappreciated.

 

When we see someone or something as imperfect, it is a reflection of our limitations, not theirs.

 

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.

 

What a blessing to love someone so much that you long for them at the core of your being. At the same time, when you are separated from that person, that longing is a torture I would not wish on anyone.

 

Someone who loves you will reveal beautiful things within yourself… things you had never noticed before… things nobody else cared to.

 

I will spend an eternity loving you, caring for you, respecting you, showing you every day that I hold you as high as the stars.

 

…be more than a person she would settle for… be a person she would yearn for.

 

When you finally meet the right one for you, it suddenly becomes clear why everyone else was so wrong.

 

May the way I look at you, the way I speak with you, and the way I treat you reflect the truth that… I have loved you since forever.

 

Being with you today is worth all the broken hearts of yesterday.

 

Love encompasses so much, reaches so far, and heals so deeply, that any attempt to describe it, no matter how poetic, only dilutes it.

 

Forever is a measure of time used by people who share an ordinary love. Our extraordinary love is immeasurable…for us, forever just won’t do.

 

Sometimes in the quest for enlightenment the only thing that gets lighter is your wallet.

 

Don’t confuse poor decision making with destiny. Take accountability for your life, cut out the drama, distance yourself from negativity, and move your life into a healthy direction.

 

Stop confusing poor decision-making with destiny. Take accountability. Wanting, praying, hoping, and wishing for change isn’t enough… Desire doesn’t changes lives; BEHAVIOR does.

 

The victim mindset will have you dancing with the devil, then complaining that you’re in hell.

 

I’ve come to learn that being alone is better than being next to someone and feeling alone.

 

Just because you’re with someone, doesn’t mean you’re not alone.

 

When the world makes me feel like I am alone, love reminds me otherwise.

 

I refuse to suffer the torment of regret that comes with living a “what if” life.

 

I refuse to suffer the torment of regret that comes from living a “what if” life.

 

Don’t choose to walk the well-worn path to regret.

 

Cemeteries are full of unfulfilled dreams… countless echoes of ‘could have’ and ‘should have’… Don’t choose to walk the well-worn path to regret.

 

It takes bravery to recognize where in your life you are your own poison… it takes courage to do something about it.

 

When I was young, I used to wish I would fit in… I’m glad I didn’t get my wish.

 

Empowerment is the ability to refine, improve, and enhance your life without co-dependency.

 

Outdated ideas inevitably lead to outdated behaviors.

 

Many great ideas, great love stories, and great achievements are born from a healthy irrationality.

 

Stay away from people who gossip and spread rumors. They are choosing the path of emotional bullying and negativity.

 

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.

 

Be purposeful in your actions. Be mindful to keep your behavior in alignment with your goals. Remember, you can refine, improve, and enhance yourself; all other control is illusory.

 

The art of letting go is simply about personal empowerment. Realizing what you’re in charge of, realizing what you control, and more importantly, what you don’t control.

 

The argument could be made that the word ‘hero’ is overused. I do not think, however, that this is the case when referring to teachers.

 

It doesn’t matter if you’re 20, 40, 60, 80, or 100. Embrace your sexy-ass self and express it!

 

I believe in romance… in playfulness… in passion… in expressing feelings… in friendship… in all the ways love heals, nourishes, and transforms “you” and “me” into an “us”.

 

When used as a tool, fear will enhance your preparedness; when used as a guide, it will stop your progress.

 

It made a big difference in my life to grow up with a dad who wasn’t afraid of how great my mom was.

 

Some of the things I hated my parents for when I was younger are the same things I love my parents for now that I’m older.

 

Sometimes the issue isn’t that your problems are so big, it’s that you see yourself as being so small.

 

It is when I struggle that I strengthen. It is when challenged to my core that I learn the depth of who I am.

 

You’re better than the life you’ve settled for. RISE to the challenge of your dreams! Don’t just dream it – LIVE it!

 

Religion is the subjective experience. Science is the objective reality. To argue either is a ridiculous waste of time and energy.

 

It’s never lost on me that it was the religious who Jesus had to challenge not to throw stones.

 

Behavior speaks… Before you even open your mouth, your actions have told me who you are and what you’re about.

 

Speak with your words and your message can be distorted… Speak with your actions and you’ll leave no doubt.

 

Your actions should be so dedicated that no one should have to ask you what you want.

 

I applaud those who speak, but I admire those who act.

 

… love is something you do; something not just to be said, but also to be shown. Let your love flow through your actions.

 

When your actions are aligned with your dreams and goals, you become the point of origin for their reality.

 

I used to hold grudges until I realized that most people are narcissistic and their actions are driven by an unhealthy self-interest and not maliciousness towards me.

 

Why let go of yesterday? Because yesterday has already let go of you.

 

Letting go is never easy. There is no short-cut or trick to it. You must be committed enough to your future to let go of your past. It’s not easy and it’s likely to hurt, but it is for the best.

 

Free yourself from the people who cause you drama and poison your soul. You know who they are… The first ones you thought of when you read this. They have to go.

 

The path to freedom is illuminated by the bridges you have burned, adorned by the ties you have cut, and cleared by the drama you have left behind. Let go. Be free.

 

You would free yourself from so much stress and drama if you just understood and embraced the truth that you are enough.

 

Stop validating your victim mentality. Shake off your self-defeating drama and embrace your innate ability to recover and achieve.

 

There are often great lessons to be learned at the roots of stress, drama, and heartache. Don’t let the magnitude of the circumstance blind you to the value of the lesson.

 

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.

 

Those with a perpetual victim mindset tend to create the situations from which they suffer.

 

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

 

Excuses, criticisms, and superstitions are vitamins for haters, but poison for the successful. Rise above!

 

Every great tragedy forms a fertile soil in which a great recovery can take root and blossom, but only if you plant the seeds.

 

Every great tragedy forms a fertile soil in which a great recovery can take root and blossom…but only if you plant the seeds.

 

Your life is a reflection… you don’t get what you WANT, you get what you ARE. You gotta BE it to SEE it.

 

Messy” is a word we use to explain a conflict with an expectation we had. Eliminate the expectation, and you eliminate the “messy”.

 

Breakups can be sad, but sometimes tears are the price we pay for a freedom we need.

 

When you’re crying, your tears may be watering the seeds of your come-back.

 

Be driven with purpose. Be relentless in your alignment with excellence. Pay no mind to the disimpassioned impotent haters.

 

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.

 

Most haters are stuck in a poisonous mental prison of jealousy and self-doubt that blinds them to their own potentiality.

 

Haters never seem to realize that jealousy is an infinite torture to which you condemn yourself.

 

You are my beautiful forever… a connection so deep that even an eternity doesn’t seem long enough to spend with you.

 

Be more than a father, be a dad. Be more than a figure, be an example.

 

You are my home; it is in your loving gaze that I find the comfort, acceptance, and the sense of belonging.

 

The difference between your crazy and my crazy is that you don’t think you’re crazy.

 

Don’t worry about the haters… They are just angry because the truth you speak contradicts the lie they live.

 

Don’t lie. Life is a puzzle and we are all unique pieces. When you lie, you make it impossible to find your true place in the grand design.

 

The argument could be made that the word hero is overused. I do not think, however, that this is the case when referring to teachers.

 

I used to worry about the labels others placed on me… until I realized my limitations weren’t coming from their labels, but from my own.

 

If you would stop worrying about things you don’t control and release what God has put into you, you will change everything around you.

 

Sometimes you think you’re helping someone up, but they’re actually pulling you down. This is the painful dynamic of dealing with someone who is incurably selfish.

 

Some people seem to have a black belt in selfishness… ninja narcissists with no regard to how they impact those around them… but at the same time, a master at the art of playing victim.

 

Selfish people tend to only be good to themselves… then are surprised when they are alone.

 

Selfish people tend to only be good to themselves… then are surprised when they are alone.

 

I’m glad I didn’t meet you when I was younger. I wouldn’t have had the wisdom to appreciate and cherish you for the gift you are in my life.

Sometimes it’s the person giving you the medicine who’s making you sick.

 

Sports Jerseys: To wear another man’s name on your back is a subconscious slap in the face to who you are. Don’t fantasize about being someone else. Put in the work required to rise to the level of your greatest self.

 

Life has a way of answering questions you didn’t even ask.

 

Pay attention! At all moments of the day you are either leading or being led.

 

At some point, I finally realized that stress made a really bad companion… so I had it pack its shit and leave.

 

Maybe the reason nothing seems to be “fixing you” is because you’re not broken. Let today be the day you stop living within the confines of how others define or judge you. You have a unique beauty and purpose; live accordingly.

 

I have found that as your wisdom and maturity develop, the number of other people you blame for your own circumstances shrinks.

 

It took me a long time and a lot of heartache to realize that just because you love someone, doesn’t mean they deserve it.

 

Sometimes the most painful lessons are delivered by someone masquerading as a soul mate.

 

When I left, they were stuck with the burden of finding someone else to blame for their life… Pointing their anger everywhere, but never looking in the mirror… Continuing the cycle that led to their misery.

 

Write down five character traits you admire most in your personal heroes. You now have a list of traits to emulate in your own life.

 

Pay attention to the behavior of the most successful people.

 

I put down my phone… Hugged her from behind… Kissed the back of her neck… Our fingers entwined… Bliss…

 

(Sometimes it seems that haters are just fans who are in denial.)

 

Apathy is a trap. There is no challenge… so there is no reward. Remember, there is always free cheese in a mousetrap.

 

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

 

Give freely, love fully, and play with fervor! Don’t put so many conditioned rules on your happiness. Life can be a beautiful experience if we allow it.

 

Behavior slays the dragon of illusion and reveals the truth.

 

It took me a long time to realize that when someone is not sorry for their behavior, that’s their problem, not mine… I’ll forgive them anyway, for me. Sometimes forgiveness is loving yourself enough to move on.

 

Pay attention, behavior speaks… While preacher are telling you to pray for abundance, they’re passing around a basket.

 

Behavior speaks… If you’re chasing them, it means they’re running from you. Save your energy.
