There's a lesson to be learned out of everything we go through in life.

As far as I'm concerned, my life is just beginning. It's never too late to start over, so this is what I've been doing.

You do learn from what you've done in the past.

That's one of the things that I say to myself as far as a ritual that I have every day: "What can I do today to make it better than it was yesterday?"

When I wake up, I always thank God. I'm grateful for another day, and he's allowed me this tiny thing that we should be appreciative of. As long as you know who you are, everything else will be OK. No one else can intervene or interfere or affect you, because you control your destiny, you control your tone, you control everything in your life.

I've always wanted to adopt kids ever since I was 16 years old. I always said I'm going to adopt, I'm going to adopt. There's too many kids in the world that need love and attention, I can give it to them.

For so long, I was controlled and manipulated by other people. Whatever people think of me, I'm finally doing what I want to do.
