The only real difficulty with becoming disciplined is when you buy into the notion that happiness comes at the price of sacrifice. The reality is this: Discipline becomes freedom when you are doing what you love.

Personality begins where comparison leaves off. Be unique. Be memorable. Be confident. Be proud.

The only real battle in life is between hanging on and letting go.

When you think this pain is all you deserve, you are right. You are the only one that can decide how long you will walk in hell.

When you let go of control and commit yourself to happiness, it is so easy to offer compassion and forgiveness. This propels you from the past, into the present. People that are negative, spend so much time trying to control situations and blame others for their problems. Committing yourself to staying positive is a daily mantra that states, “I have control over how I plan to react, feel, think and believe in the present. No one guides the tone of my life, except me!

Hide yourself in God, so when a man wants to find you he will have to go there first.

Accomplishments don’t erase shame, hatred, cruelty, silence, ignorance, discrimination, low self-esteem or immorality. It covers it up, with a creative version of pride and ego. Only restitution, forgiving yourself and others, compassion, repentance and living with dignity will ever erase the past.

Fear is the glue that keeps you stuck. Faith is the solvent that sets you free.

No boundary or barrier surrounds the heart of a person that loves their self and others.
