You must go into the dark in order to bring forth your light.

The warrior woman is filled with the courage, confidence, and inner strength to leave the past behind. She knows that there is no way to express herself fully when she is still carrying burdens that need to be released.

Take back your light. Know that when you're in awe of someone else's greatness, you're really seeing yourself. Identify what you most admire or love about others and see how you can nourish those qualities and bring them out in yourself. Instead of fixating on someone else's brilliance, find ways to develop and demonstrate your own.

All real change requires risk. You must take risks every day of your life. You must get up each morning and ask...: What can I do that is different?

If we want a new future that does not look like our past, we must make new choices in the present.

Owning our power means claiming the credibility and uniqueness of our own humanity.

Every day, each of us makes a multitude of choices that will impact our lives...the quality of our choices will dictate whether we will struggle in frustration or live an extraordinary life--the life of our dreams.
