Memorable Quotes:
“Every purpose, every plan, every gift, it was always in there. I needed to be in a place of clarity to activate those gifts...And so for me to motivate and to inspire people and to help people move into their destiny, comes from words of wisdom, words of affirmation.”
“You are greater than your situation. You are still here. You're standing. It didn't destroy you. Yes, the situation was harmful, you took some bumps, you took some bruises, but you're still standing.”
“Those people who bring the most value to my life mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and yes, even financially, those are the people who should have access to me. And that's a reciprocal relationship. It's not one-sided. I have to bring value to them. They have to bring value to me and all of us can't fit in that circle.”
“...but what we should see through the power of meditation, from the seed to the tree, to the apples, to the orchard, the power of my meditation, and when I open myself up and allow myself to see and realize in my mind, I can then produce it in my real life. But if I can't visualize it, it's not gonna happen.”
