Don't hold yourself back because you're afraid or because you've been hurt...acknowle dge your fear, accept it, and walk through it with confidence.

You are not being tested! You are being fortified! Remember, you cannot fail!

Everything we experience-no matter how unpleasant-comes into our lives to teach us something.

Don't get hung up on the hard times, the challenges. Tell your story by highlighting the victories. Because it's your victories that will inspire, motivate, encourage other people to live their stories in grander ways.

I learned that telling the truth was a big part of loving yourself.

To honor life, we must be willing to grow through what we don't know yet, and outgrow what we know no longer fits us. We must be willing to give in to the process, moment by moment, realizing a new plot may be unfolding.

If you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans.
