"It may seem that you are on the path alone, but the light that guides you is coming from somewhere. Trust your every step because none of us walk this journey alone."

"In God's economy, nothing is slag, nothing is wasted. Every relationship we build is a teacher, every experience we have is a coach. In every scar there is a lesson. In every memory there lives potential to make more."

"Success does just happen. It happens to those who desire, plan and work for it."

"New thinking doesn't mean shuffling your old thoughts around; it means getting rid of the old and implementing the new. That way your, "I can't" become "I can!" and "I did!"

"It does not matter where you are-from this very moment on you choose the direction of your life."

"Take a discovery walk today to find what's missing in your life. There's peace in the whisper of the wind, hope in the sun smiling from behind clouds, strength in every step forward. You can do it!"

"We are also not what others think of us. Our reputations do not define our true worth. Every person we know has an opinion of us. We drive ourselves crazy wondering what those opinion are and trying to change the ones that aren't favorable."

"The greatest tragedy in your life will not be the death of a loved one or a natural disaster; those things hurt like hell and devastate to the core. But loss like that is part of life. What's not necessary and is therefore most tragic is the demise of your truest identity, your dying before you're dead, the moments when you let the words and judgments of others define who you are instead of rising above that pain to be the person you were meant to be. No matter what has happened in your past, you are still capable of becoming a better version of who you are at this moment. Think right. Believe the voice inside of you that speaks the truth. You are a divine marvel. Act like it. Live like it."

"When the finish line seems too far away, remember how you felt when you were back at the starting line. Regain that motivation to recharge your momentum."

"To keep the entire body in shape, tend to every part of it, every limb, every organ, every joint and system. Educate yourself about your own body. Learn what to feed it and how to fuel it. Learn what keeps it from breaking down and do those things. To not love you, is breaking one of God's three highest commandments."

"Let your past propel you forward, not hold you back."

"Take a close look at nature and you'll see that every living creature is wired for mutation and variation. The fact that people can say, "I'm not the same person I used to be, is the greatest of all miracles."

"You cannot be a friend to someone else, if you do not have a friendship with yourself."

"Set your mind first and your body will follow."

"The weight you life is not nearly as heavy as the weigh you carry."

"My mother smoked two packs of cigarettes a day. Before she smoked her first cigarette, she was free to choose whether or not she would smoke. After awhile, her freedom reverted to Satan-so it would seem. The choice was no longer hers-so it would seem. Her mind and body were attacked with nicotine cravings that got so bad she would sometimes sacavage through garbage cans for butts when she'd run short on full cigarettes. I watched, baffled at how something so small and so disgusting to me could have such power over my mother. That's the thing about addiction-it binds us one choice at a time. That's also the good news about addition-you can unravel the hold it has on you-one choice at a time."

"Do we? Our problem is whatever wedges between us and God."

"Training is the word we use now. To train means to teach a particular skill over a period of time. Every time you get up, show up, work out, you are training yourself to be better, to live happier and healthier. Don't expect results in a snap. Remember, change takes however long it takes."

"You are beyond worth and your potential to change is in your next thought."

"Sometimes letting go is the hardest thing imaginable, yet holding on is even harder."

"Our lives reflect our inner image. If we think we're worth it, that worth will manifest in our lives. If we think we're not worthy, we'll live in lack. Believe your worth it and you will become worth it."

"Sometimes the only path we can maneuver is from the bed to the bathroom. That's okay. Let your journey be what it is . Just keep moving."

"You don't get strong by standing at the finish line, you get strong with every step you take to get there."

"We are spiritual children of God the Father. We preach it. We sing it. But do we really understand it? Sometimes it's easy to tell others they are loved, but not so easy to believe it of ourselves - not because we don't think God loves His children, but because we may feel undeserving of His love. The adversary loves to remind us who we are not. Not pretty. Not smart. Not strong. But God would not have sacrificed His Son to save us if we aren't worth saving."

"Unless and until we change, we cannot grow. What's life without growth?"

"You are not your emotions and they are not who you are, only how you feel at the moment."

"Why do we tend to treasure our health best, only when it is in jeopardy?"

"Tears do not signal your weakness. Tears testify that you are alive."

"Meaning is often found embedded in the silent moments of our lives when we can hear and see what matters most, the things audible and visible only to the spirit."

"Do not ask, "Is is possible?" rather, "Is is worth what it will require of me to make it happen?"

"Your brain with all its parts, exists to keep you safe, but your mind, with all your memories and intuition, exists to help you soar."
