All of us need a vision for our lives, and even as we work to achieve that vision, we must surrender to the power that is greater than we know. It's one of the defining principles of my life that I love to share: God can dream a bigger dream for you than you could ever dream for yourself.

That's what life is: an open door to all that is possible. And that's a powerful thing.

Be more splendid, more extraordinary. Use every moment to fill yourself up.

The best work we can all do is create the highest vision possible for our lives and be led by that vision to the greatest good.

There are so many people who've come before me who deserved to be tired. Who didn't have the opportunities, who didn't have the access, who didn't have the money, who didn't have the influence, who didn't have the voice.

You have two choices: You can come down from the mountain and spend the rest of your days thinking it was so beautiful there, or you can create a vision, look upward, see the next mountain, and start the climb all over again.

If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.
