Count your age by great life experiences, not years. Measure your life by laughter, not tears.

If there is one thing that I have learned in my short life, it's that everything does happen for a reason. And usually those reasons appear later down the road when someone comes to you looking for advice. That mistake you made today and lessons you learned from it will allow you to help someone down the road better their own life.

Scars remind us that our past is real, and that we have grown beyond it.

In the darkest moments of your life, there are stars shining bright.

There is no real ending. It’s just the point in the story where you turn the page.

Soft whispers often lead to beautiful journeys and a life worth living. We may have hundreds of callings in our life, but each whisper gives us a chance to experience an aspect of what makes us come alive.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to your thoughts.

If you aren’t being yourself, you aren’t truly living – you’re merely existing.

If we truly want to make a impact - big or small - we have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Worry and rumination are the enemies to living in the present moment.

We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us.

The truth reveals itself when you look with your heart.

When someone purposely inflicts hate upon another person by attacking the integrity of their character, they are doing a huge disservice to humanity. Not only is the person on the receiving end of the hatred being negatively affected, so is the person doing the hating. When you treat another person in a hateful way, you learn you are a hateful person. When you invite others to share in that hatred, you are teaching them that they are hateful too.

Do more than just exist.

Be intimidated by the fear of being average, and then rise above it and be extraordinary.

In the end we become who we pretend to be, so we must be careful about who we pretend to be.
