I learned that I could control my life. You are the master of your fate. . . you are the captain of your soul. I took control and went to my space. . . My space. . . the universal energy. . . I tapped into that space of divine flow, where all beings, all things are connected. That space is real. You cannot have a meaningful life without having spiritual self-reflection. Know who you are and why you are here. When you tap into that space, divine flow, that universal energy, you become untouchable in what you are called to do.

What's wrong with the world and what can we do to change it?

Find the courage to seek out your big dream, regardless of what anyone else says or thinks.

Do not waste your time with people who have shown you they really mean no good for you.

What you believe has more power than what you dream or wish or hope for. You become what you believe.

There are still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism, and they just have to die.

The true meaning of courage is to be afraid, and then, with your knees knocking and your heart racing, to step out anyway—even when that step makes sense to nobody but you. I know that’s not easy. But making a bold move is the only way to truly advance toward the grandest vision the universe has for you.
