Sometimes the greatest thing to come out of all your hard work isn’t what you GET for it, but what you BECOME for it.

Today’s man should do more than just talk; he should act. He should do more than just promise; he should deliver.

Pay attention! At all moments of the day you are either leading or being led.

A broken heart bleeds tears.

Blame is the coward’s retreat.They think it frees them, but it confines them… Blame is also the coward’s warden.

You are my home; it is in your loving gaze that I find the comfort, acceptance, and the sense of belonging.

Every great tragedy forms a fertile soil in which a great recovery can take root and blossom, but only if you plant the seeds.

Self-love isn’t always so poetic; sometimes it’s a nice big triple back flip kick in the ass. You’ve got to call yourself on your own nonsense; on the incredibly efficient way you can be self-destructive.

The argument could be made that the word ‘hero’ is overused. I do not think, however, that this is the case when referring to teachers.

The thing you are passionate about is not random; it stems from an inner yearning. Don’t ignore it or allow others to talk you out of it. Go get it!

Be purposeful in your actions. Be mindful to keep your behavior in alignment with your goals. Remember, you can refine, improve, and enhance yourself; all other control is illusory.

Don’t dilute yourself for any person or any reason. You are enough! Be unapologetically you.

Love yourself enough to take the actions required for your happiness… Love yourself enough to cut yourself loose from the ties of the drama-filled past… Love yourself enough to move on!

Be more than a father, be a dad. Be more than a figure, be an example.

Your life is a reflection… you don’t get what you WANT, you get what you ARE. You gotta BE it to SEE it.

Why let go of yesterday? Because yesterday has already let go of you.

Many like to ask the questions; few like to hear the answers.

Focusing on what you don’t want instead of focusing on what do want gets you nowhere. Negativity makes a horrible motivator. Decide what you want and move in that direction.

I will spend an eternity loving you, caring for you, respecting you, showing you every day that I hold you as high as the stars.

Just because you’re with someone, doesn’t mean you’re not alone.

When you’re too religious, you tend to point your finger to judge instead of extending your hand to help.

At some point, I finally realized that stress made a really bad companion… so I had it pack its shit and leave.

You’re better than the life you’ve settled for. RISE to the challenge of your dreams! Don’t just dream it – LIVE it!

Today you will have countless opportunities to take action towards any dream or goal you’ve ever had. No matter how long you’ve waited, it’s never too late. Let today be the day you give life to your dreams and goals. Don’t throw away another day!

Your silence is loudest to those who love you most.

This is not the time to be passive. This is the time to shape, sculpt, paint, participate… the time to get sweaty, to get dirty, to fall in love, to forgive, to forget, to hug, to kiss… this is the time to experience, participate and live your life as a verb.

Happiness, Success, Excellence: They are not something you get for knowing the path; they are something you experience by walking it.

I am in love with the serendipitous poetry with which this universe expresses itself.

It is an unnecessary burden to make negative judgmental assumptions about others. We are all on a journey.

The love of your life is out there… but they won’t just drop on your lap, nor you on theirs… so stop living an on-hold life! Go out there and experience your life, write your story, and live your fairy tale… It is on that journey that you’ll cross paths with the love that’s worthy...

Life had broken her; just as it had broken him. But when they got together, their pieces became whole. And they continued on their journey, together, mended as one.

Appreciate your mom. She is wiser than you think and stronger than you know. Be thankful.

Gratitude is the bridge that merges your love with longevity. It is the vital ingredient for a lasting relationship.

Free yourself from the poisonous and laborious burden of holding a grudge. When you hold a grudge, you want someone else’s sorrow to reflect your level of hurt, but the two rarely meet. Let go… Sometimes, forgiveness is simply a reflection of loving yourself enough to move on.

Be the type of man a wife would cherish and a child would admire.

Many people experience the travesty of regret in their end days; the realization that nothing held them back, that nothing was in their way, that there is no one to blame, only themselves. Don’t just sit by waiting for your life to happen, make it happen! Don’t just hope your dreams will come alive, breathe...

I fell in love… she caused a type of smile within me that nothing else can or has.

Country music is the poetry of the American spirit.

When you pray, you are speaking to yourself. When you take action, you are speaking to God.

When you judge a woman by her appearance, it doesn’t define her, it defines you. Ladies, never allow yourself to be defined by someone’s inability to appreciate your unique beauty.

True love has taught me that there is a difference between a woman getting naked for you and one revealing herself to you.

Take ACTION! When we DO NOT take action, our potentiality becomes the soil that houses the seeds of our regret.

You were not meant for a life of mediocrity! Stop letting the regret of yesterday and the insecurity of tomorrow steal your today. Live this day! Do not allow your spirit to be softened or your happiness to be limited by a day you cannot have back or a day that does not yet exist....

For me, the most magical truth of this universe is that no magic is required.

Am I creating a consumer environment that is conducive to loyalty?” If the answer is no, FIX IT!

If your salvation was dependent on your ability to read and understand scripture, Jesus would have been an author.

Relax. Refresh. Renew. Play. Sing. Laugh. Enjoy. Forgive. Dance. Love. Hug. Share. Kiss. Create. Explore. Hope. Listen. Dare. Trust. Dream. Learn. TODAY!

It is surprising to me that one of the great crimes of history has gone unnoticed; the abduction of god by religions. This slight-of-hand has been the cause of countless blood-shed and has been found at the root of innumerable acts of evil. The argument continues today, as to which religion the true god belongs,...

I feel so grateful to discover that each new day brings me the opportunity to watch the sunrise and fall in love with you again.

I know my worth. Never again will I condemn myself to the prison of a bad relationship.
