"when you do well, when you do your best, people notice. if you are making fries at a fast food restaurant and yours are the best fries, people always want to come to your line. so wherever you are, do your best and doing your best puts you at the next level." - Oprah
“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as a Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry.

"Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
...the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul." - William Ernest Henley
"I knew that I had been down a peril's road, and it had felt awful to me. So in the moment I was told 'this is your second chance,' I didn't just hear that, I felt that with every fiber of my being. and I took it. I took it to heart. And I made a decision that I am going to do the best and be the best and act as the best that I can." -Oprah
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?We are all meant to shine. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
"Everything you want is on the other side of fear"
"Let me ask you… if you REALLY LOVE someone, how do you show them that love?The most obvious answer is that you spend time with them. Well, how much time do you spend time with yourself? I’m talking about real, quality time - time that is spent GIVING to yourself and becoming more as a human being.Not only that, but you might do things to make that person feel INCREDIBLE - perhaps compliment them, tell them how much you love them, or celebrate together. Again, how often do you take the time to compliment yourself, love yourself, and allow yourself to feel incredible?Most of us are too busy beating ourselves up - and I’m sure if you did that to someone else, you wouldn’t be in a relationship with them very long.Doesn’t it only make sense to nurture the most important relationship you have, which is with yourself?"
"i believe that we are here with deep purpose to become all that we can be"

"there is the known, the unknown and the unknowable... if that doesn't make you feel humble..."
"success is all about just keep moving"
"i believe the choice to be excellent begins with aligning your thoughts and words with the intention to require more of yourself"
