“Sometimes life knocks you on your ass... get up, get up, get up!!! Happiness is not the absence of problems, it's the ability to deal with them.”

“Don't confuse poor decision-making with destiny. Own your mistakes. It’s ok; we all make them. Learn from them so they can empower you!”

“One of the most spiritual things you can do is embrace your humanity. Connect with those around you today. Say, "I love you", "I'm sorry", "I appreciate you", "I'm proud of you"...whatever you're feeling. Send random texts, write a cute note, embrace your truth and share it...cause a smile today for someone else...and give plenty of hugs.”

“Although time seems to fly, it never travels faster than one day at a time. Each day is a new opportunity to live your life to the fullest. In each waking day, you will find scores of blessings and opportunities for positive change. Do not let your TODAY be stolen by the unchangeable past or the indefinite future! Today is a new day!”

“Let today be the day you stop being haunted by the ghost of yesterday. Holding a grudge & harboring anger/resentment is poison to the soul. Get even with people...but not those who have hurt us, forget them, instead get even with those who have helped us.”

“People who lack the clarity, courage, or determination to follow their own dreams will often find ways to discourage yours. Live your truth and don't EVER stop!”

“Your dream is a reality that is waiting for you to materialize. Today is a new day! Don’t let your history interfere with your destiny! Learn from your past so that it can empower your present and propel you to greatness”

“Make the choice to embrace this day. Do not let your TODAY be stolen by the ghost of yesterday or the "To-Do" list of tomorrow! It’s inspiring to see all the wonderfully amazing things that can happen in a day in which you participate.”

“Those with a grateful mindset tend to see the message in the mess. And even though life may knock them down, the grateful find reasons, if even small ones, to get up.”

“There is great change to be experienced once you learn the power of letting go. Stop allowing anyone or anything to control, limit, repress, or discourage you from being your true self! Today is YOURS to shape - own it - break free from people and things that poison or dilute your spirit.”

“Today, many will choose to live free of conditions and rules governing their own happiness. Why not you? Do not let another day go by where your dedication to other people's opinions is greater than your dedication to your own emotions! Today's a new day!”

“We can't undo a single thing we have ever done, but we can make decisions today that propel us to the life we want and towards the healing we need.”

“The power to change your life lies in the simplest of steps.”

“Simplify your life. You don't grow spiritual, you shrink spiritual.”

“Once your mindset changes, everything on the outside will change along with it.”

“Fear can only grow in darkness. Once you face fear with light, you win.”

“Your agreement with reality defines your life.”

“At the end of the day, let there be no excuses, no explanations, no regrets.”

“Be happy with who you are and what you do, and you can do anything you want.”

“Forget yesterday - it has already forgotten you. Don't sweat tomorrow - you haven't even met. Instead, open your eyes and your heart to a truly precious gift - today.”

“A lack of clarity could put the brakes on any journey to success.”

“No matter what your history has been, your destiny is what you create today. What are you going to create?”

“Judging is preventing us from understanding a new truth. Free yourself from the rules of old judgments and create the space for new understanding.”

“You can't just wish change; you have to live the change in order for it to become a reality.”

“Think of the patience God has had for you and let it resonate to others. If you want a more patient world, let patience be your motto”

“Today is the only day in which we have any power.”

“Live your vision and demand your success.”

“NEVER be surprised by your own success!”

“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive—to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love—then make that day count!”

“At any given moment the choice to be happy is present- we just have to choose to be happy.”

“Your fear of the truth does not hide or dilute it.”

“Change is the parent of progress.”

“Free yourself from the complexities of your life! A life of simplicity and happiness awaits you.”

“The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.”

“Change is in the air. This change reminds us that we are made and beautifully sculpted by the same power that orchestrates the change of season. Let this be the season you embrace and align yourself with this change.”

“We must transcend the illusion that money or power has any bearing on our worthiness as children of God.”

“If you believe you can, you might. If you know you can, you will.”

“Today is yours to shape. Create a masterpiece!”

“Success is something you experience when you act accordingly. Success is not something you have, it's something you do.”

“The value of a moment is immeasurable. The power of just ONE moment can propel you to success and happiness or chain you to failure and misery.”

“Live Today! Do not allow your spirit to be softened of your happiness to be limited by a day you cannot have back or a day that does not yet exist.”

“Never confuse someone else's inability to do something with its inability to be done.”

“The greatest enemy to fear is truth.”

“Look around you. Everything changes. Everything on this earth is in a continuous state of evolving, refining, improving, adapting, enhancing…changing. You were not put on this earth to remain stagnant.”

“You must learn to let go. Release the stress. You were never in control anyway.”

“The greatest step towards a life of simplicity is to learn to let go.”

“If you intend to change, decide what you want and live your life accordingly.”

“The purpose of fear is to raise your awareness not to stop your progress.”

“Today stretches ahead of you waiting to be shaped. You are the sculptor who gets to do the shaping. What today will be like is up to you.”

“While intent is the seed of manifestation, action is the water that nourishes the seed. Your actions must reflect your goals in order to achieve true success.”
