“People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.”

“Ideas and philosophies have a shelf-life. They must be kept fresh and renewed or they will spoil. If left unattended, the same ideas and philosophies that once nourished you and helped you grow can poison you and make you sick. Become aware of new ideas that can refresh your way of life and be open to the fact that your old ideas and philosophies can work for you for some time, but when the shelf-life has passed, those ideas and philosophies could also harm you.”

“People are people,"..."You can fall in love with either sex- it's the *person* who makes the difference. His or her spectacular insides.”

“1 person will tell you that you can do it, 100 people will tell you that you can't, and 20 people will tell you that you can do it only with their help. One person is right.”

“Your life plays out as a reflection of your genetic makeup and potentiality as expressed through your environment and choices. Love yourself enough to create an environment in your life that is conducive to the nourishment of your personal growth. Allow yourself to let go of the people, thoughts, and situations that poison your well-being. Cultivate a vibrant surrounding and commit yourself to making choices that will help you release the greatest expression of your unique beauty and purpose.”

“I won't regret, because you can grow flowers where dirt used to be.”
