I'm one of those people who lives for the moment. If you concern yourself with what's going to happen a year from now, or five years from now, you defuse the moment. Whatever comes, comes. For this time I enjoy the ascent. I don't worry about anything except getting thinner thighs.

My goal is always, how do you get better?

I was raised to believe that excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism. And that's how I operate my life.

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.

One if the hardest things in life to learn are which bridges to cross and which bridges to burn.

Ask the right questions, and the answers will always reveal themselves.

‎Living in the moment means letting go of the past and not waiting for the future. It means living your life consciously, aware that each moment you breathe is a gift.
