There are so many people who've come before me who deserved to be tired. Who didn't have the opportunities, who didn't have the access, who didn't have the money, who didn't have the influence, who didn't have the voice.

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.

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

You get from the world what you give to the world.

I believe the choice to be excellent begins with aligning your thoughts and words with the intention to require more from yourself.

You really haven't changed, you've just become more of yourself. That is really what were all trying to do: become more of ourselves.

Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.
