I pray to be used in service to a greater purpose higher than my own

For years I've advocated keeping a gratitude journal, writing down five things every day that brought pleasure and gratefulness.

The secret to being successful is to find a way to bring yourself through, even in your stories. People are looking for the essence of your truth. When you can bring your own truth to it, that's when it works.

Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not.

Right now you are one choice away from a new beginning - one that leads you toward becoming the fullest human being you can be.

That guy just cut right in front of me. But I'm not going to let it bother me. No. I'm on my way to work and I decided it doesn't matter who wants to cut in front of my lane today. I'm not going to let it bother me one bit. Once I get to work, find myself a parking space, if somebody wants to jump ahead of me and take it, I'm going to let them.

Although there may be tragedy in your life, there’s always a possibility to triumph. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from. The ability to triumph begins with you. Always.
