You have to be responsible for the energy you're putting out into the world.

True self-esteem is realizing that you are valuable because you were born. No matter where you came from, what color your skin is, what people say about your family or what mean things people may have done to you, because you were born, you are important and you matter.

Where there is no struggle, there is no strength.

You cannot wait for someone to save you, to help you, to complete you. No one can complete you. You complete yourself.

The key to realizing a dream is to focus not on success but significance - and then even the small steps and little victories along your path will take on greater meaning.

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

What I know for sure is that what you give comes back to you.
