Even as a kid, my memories are of books taking me out of myself.

Nothing about my life is lucky. Nothing. A lot of grace, a lot of blessings, a lot of divine order, but I don't believe in luck. For me, luck is preparation meeting the moment of opportunity. There is no luck without you being prepared to handle that moment of opportunity. Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for the moment that is to come.

Great communication begins with connection.

Every birthday, you decide whether to mark it the end of your greatest days or the beginning of your finest hour.

Unless you choose to do great things with it, it makes no difference how much you are rewarded, or how much power you have.

You look at yourself and you accept yourself for who you are, and once you accept yourself for who you are you become a better person.
