Make yourself a priority. Fill yourself up so that you can give more to others.

Your soul tells you when it's time to move on.

I don't want to have to get the lesson of losing [things like health and moving about freely] to appreciate what it was.

There's nothing worse than betraying yourself.

The only thing that can free you is the belief that you can be free.

Check your ego at the door and check your gut instead. Every right decision I have ever made has come from my gut. Every wrong decision I've made was the result of me not listening to the greater voice of myself

I love what the church offers to us as a culture - black people in particular. We would be nowhere without the black church.
