Go ahead: Live with abandon. Be outrageous at any age. What are you saving your best self for?

The expectation of my life was that I might be able to work for some good white folks. Now I got some good white folks working for me.

Don't complain about what you don't have. Use what you've got. To be less than your best is a sin.

Live life and take chances. Believe that everything happens for a reason and don't regret. Love to the fullest and you will find true happiness in life. Realize that things go wrong and people change, but things do go on. Sometimes things weren't meant to be. What is supposed to happen will work its way out.

It's only when you make the process your goal that the big dream can follow.

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

I trust in the ebb and flow of the universe. I trust that life's bigger than what I can see. I trust that there is a divine order beyond my control. And I trust that no matter what happens, I will be all right.
