The world moves fast. Business moves fast. Digital media moves extremely fast. It is far too easy to allow ourselves to be constantly blown from one trend to the next.
We need to find the courage to say no to the things and people that are not serving us if we want to rediscover ourselves and live our lives with authenticity.
Only God who made us can touch us and change us and save us from ourselves.
The lies the government and media tell are amplifications of the lies we tell ourselves. To stop being conned, stop conning yourself.
It is inexcusable that the richest country in the world does not take care of all of its people. We don't consider ourselves idealistic; we're thoughtfully trying to make a beautiful health care model.
You want to come home from a tournament with a winner's medal. That's not the fans or the media putting us under pressure, that's the pressure we put ourselves under.
We would not be interested in human beings if we did not have the hope of someday meeting someone worse off than ourselves.
How we feel about ourselves as we read the newspaper, set the table, wash the dishes, recycle the trash and wash our clothes... is essential to our overall happiness and well-being.
I think the key to happiness is allowing ourselves to not feel bad or guilty for feeling it, and letting it be contagious. And to not be dependent on other people to create your own happiness.
You believe happiness to be derived from the place in which once you have been happy, but in truth it is centered in ourselves.
What we wish, we readily believe, and what we ourselves think, we imagine others think also.
Social revolutions and group revolutions are good, and we need that, but we also need personal revolution - revolution within ourselves that change who we are as people.
For, after all, put it as we may to ourselves, we are all of us from birth to death guests at a table which we did not spread.
To the degree we're not living our dreams, our comfort zone has more control of us than we have over ourselves.
The message of women's liberation is that women can love each other and ourselves against our degrading education.
I believe that as women, we must commit ourselves to sustaining the progress made by our foremothers who fought so hard for women's equality and liberation.
I want to organize so that women see ourselves as people who are entitled to power, entitled to leadership.
God wants to free us from ourselves, and there's nothing like suffering to show us that we need something bigger than our abilities and our strength and our explanations.
Renunciation - that is the great fact we all, individuals and classes, have to learn. In trying to avoid it we bring misery to ourselves and others.
My creative side is identifying all these great entrepreneurial creative people that come up with great ideas, whether they are in fashion or technology or a new tool to improve ourselves.
These our great natural rights we keep to ourselves; we will not have them tampered with; respecting them we give to you no commission whatsoever.
