A label locks me into a definition that people use to control me. A vision graces me with an idea that serves to release me.

Sometimes how high we can go depends on how low we have fallen, for it is in experiencing the depths that we finally become convinced of the heights.

You are fully and magnificently equipped to stand up and change the world around you. And to simply sit down and tolerate the world around you is to squander who you are in the process of never being who you are.

We can be seized with panic of the fall, or inspired by the potential that lies within the fall.

Today’s headlines need not be tomorrow’s storyline.

I must not imagine what is ‘not’ as a means of escaping what ‘is’. Rather, I must understand what ‘is’ and imagine how I can make it what it is ‘not’.

It’s not a lack of opportunity around me. Rather, it’s a lack of faith within me.

The minute that stands in front of me has plenty of room within it to birth a new start. And if that is so, the next sixty seconds could change everything.

I might not believe in the possibilities, but that in no way diminishes the realities of the opportunities.
