“Consistency is the key! If you can't be consistent, then you can't be anything.”

“Don't make excuses! Make changes!”

“Don’t let your values change with society; instead let your values change society.”

“Evaluate the people in your life; then promote, demote, or terminate. You're the CEO of your life!”

“Everything I do, although I also make a living, I’m chasing purpose, not profit.”

“God makes originals not carbon copies. It's okay to be inspired by someone, but be bold enough to be yourself.”

“I like to see that a person has done what they are teaching. We live in a world of broke financial advisors, of single matchmakers.. I do my due diligence. If you can’t implement it in your own life, then something is missing.”

“I was ignorant to the world around me, so I didn’t know my limitations… So I had no limitations.”

“If you can't do anything about it then let it go. Don't be a prisoner to things you can't change.”

“Invest in yourself first. Expect nothing from no one and be willing to work for everything.”

“Ladies: If a man really wants to be with you, you will know it! If you have to question it, let it go!”

“Love is a learned behavior. If you don't learn how to love yourself someone will teach you how to hate yourself.”

“People don't cheat by chance, they cheat by choice.”

“People hate you for one of three reasons.

1) They hate themselves
2) They want to be you
3) They see you as a threat

When you love yourself you are incapable of hating anyone no matter what they've done.”

“Separation before elevation. You have to let some people and things go so you can go to the next level.”

“The best way to dream is with your eyes open and feet moving.”

“The doors will be opened to those who are bold enough to knock.”

“The wise learn from the mistakes of others, it's the fool that wants to make their own mistakes.”

“To be content does not mean that you don't desire more, it means you're thankful for what you have and patient for what's to come.”

“We forget how to be a whole person all by ourselves. We feel like we are only half a person and that we need someone else to make us whole. That is a lie we tell ourselves and unfortunately, that lie has ruined so many people. We get in a relationship, we get hurt and then we run to someone else to cover up the pain or fill that void in our lives, not realizing that running to the wrong person will just make it worse.”

“When you truly love yourself, you don't have enemies. They may hate you but you're too big to hate them back.”

“Winners win in life because they win the battle in their mind first!”

“You attract what you are, not what you want. So if you want it then reflect it!”

“You teach people how to treat you by what you allow, what you stop, and what you reinforce.”

“You'll get humbled right before you're blessed. It's just a test to make sure you can handle what's next.”
