Never settle for being a character in someone else’s story when you are meant to be the author of your own.

If you can drink from the fountain, why then, should you request for a drink of water from the cup?

People push you to your limits, but when you finally explode and fight back, you are the mean one.

You don’t have to leave your whole family in the past, just those who don’t deserve a place in your future.

I learned a long time ago the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side, be an advocate for myself and others

What you want exists. Don’t settle until you get it.

Your success, your life, your happiness. Don’t let mean people bring that down.

Family is where you’re meant to be most free, don’t let blood chain you down.

Always sleep with one eye open. Never take anything for granted. Your best friends might just be your enemies.

You were born an original work of art. Stay original always. Originals cost more than imitations.

Only people who are not happy with themselves are mean to others. Remember that.

Be kind to unkind people; they need it the most!

Make sure the lions you roll with aren’t snakes in disguise.

Those who clap you on the back with one hand may clench envy’s mask behind theirs with the other.

When you start seeing your worth, you’ll find it harder to stay around people who don’t.

A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep.
