It's up to each of us to get very still and say, 'This is who I am.' No one else defines your life. Only you do.

The true test of courage is to be afraid and to go ahead and do it anyway - to be scared, is to have your knees knocking, but to walk on in there anyway.

To be fully human is...to know that it's possible to face the unimaginable and somehow put one foot in front of the other.

Purpose is the thread that connects the dots to everything you do that leads you to an extraordinary life.

I love hearing stories, telling stories, sharing stories. I've shared 37,000 on the Oprah show! Every day I was like the town crier.

There is a lesson in almost everything that you do, and getting the lesson is how you move forward. It is how you enrich your spirit.

You CAN have it all. You just can't have it all at once.
