You need to dream a bigger dream for yourself. That is the lesson. Hold the highest vision possible for your life and it can come true.

I would say that during the time that I was 14 and pregnant - I didn't even know what pregnancy was when I got pregnant - I was trying to do everything I could to harm myself. I said to God, "God, if you want me to die, then you're going to have to kill me".

Bravery shows up in everyday life when people have the courage to live their truth, their vision and their dreams.

We have to steer our true life’s course. Whatever your calling is in life! The whole purpose of being here is to figure out what that is as soon as possible, so you go about the business of being on track, of not being owned by what your mother said, what society said, whatever people think a woman is supposed to be when you can exceed other people’s expectations and be defined by your own!

I am extremely spiritual. I've not gone into this before because it's personal, but faith is the core of my life.

Don?t back down just to keep the peace. Standing up for your beliefs builds self-confidence and self-esteem.

If you don't heal the wounds of your childhood, you bleed into the future.
