...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.

It__ my life and I__ 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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Most people talk, but say nothing. That__ 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.

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

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

YOU are your love of a lifetime.

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.

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

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

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.
