Your life is a journey of learning to love yourself first and then extending that love to others in every encounter.

The best way to look at aging is to see it as an opportunity to leave what didn't work behind and step boldly into a brand new future.

If you make a choice that doesn't please your mate, your friends, your mother, or whoever, the world will not fall apart - the people who truly love you want you to love yourself.

I'm starting to cry. I'm remembering those years I struggled with my weight, those times when I saw my reflection in a store window and didn't know who that fat person was, years when it was a big accomplishment for me to exercise at two dots on the StairMaster. And now I'm finishing a 26-mile race. Damn! This is better than winning an Emmy!

The key to realizing a dream is to focus not on success but significance.

Whatever your calling or purpose is, it's your job to feel it. No gift that you have been given was made for yourself.

There's nothing worse than betraying yourself.
