You have the RIGHT to change your mind

What I find powerful is a person with the confidence to be her own self.

I still want what I've always wanted ... to be the best person I can be.

Nobody but you is responsible for your life. You are responsible for your life. What is your life? What is all life? What is every flower, every rock, every tree? Energy. And you're responsible for the energy you create for yourself, and you're responsible for the energy that you bring to others.

My highest achievement: never shutting my heart down. Even in my darkest moments - through sexual abuse, a pregnancy at 14, lies and betrayals - I remained faithful, hopeful, and open to seeing the best in people, regardless of whether they were showing me their worst. I stayed open to believing that no matter how hard the climb, there is always a way to let in a sliver of light to illuminate the path forward.

Pray as if it's up to God, work as if it's up to you.

Strength times strength times strength times strength times strength times strength means power.
