Failure is just a way for our lives to show us we're moving in the wrong direction, that we should try something different

I'm black, I don't feel burdened by it and I don't think it's a huge responsibility. It's part of who I am. It does not define me.

Even in bad times, always say thank you. Whatever you are going through, God is using you to get through. God has already put a rainbow in the cloud.

We create stress for ourselves because you feel like you have to do it. You have to. I don't feel that anymore

There’s a difference between thinking you deserve to be happy and knowing that you are worthy of being happy. Your being alive makes worthiness your birthright. You alone are enough.
