“I am not a victim. No matter what I have been through, I'm still here. I have a history of victory.”

“You are not a victim. No matter what you have been through, you're still here. You may have been challenged, hurt, betrayed, beaten, and discouraged, but nothing has defeated you. You are still here! You have been delayed but not denied. You are not a victim, you are a victor. You have a history of victory.”

“There are times in my life when I have been medicine for some while poison for others. I used to think I was a victim of my story until I realized the truth; that I am the creator of my story. I choose what type of person I will be and what type of impact I will leave on others. I will never choose the destructive path of self and outward victimization again.”

“I am so grateful for my troubles. As I reflect back on my life, I have come to realize that my greatest triumphs have been born of my greatest troubles.”

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

“This is your life. This is your moment. Think of all you have been through just to get here… MAKE IT COUNT!”

“I am who I am because the tears of my past have watered the magnificence of my present.”
