I’m never satisfied. I’m always trying to get better and learn from my mistakes.

Whenever I feel bad, I use that feeling to motivate me to work harder. I only allow myself one day to feel sorry for myself. When I’m not feeling my best I ask myself, ‘What are you gonna do about it?’ I use the negativity to fuel the transformation into a better me.

Every relationship, every situation is part of a divinely created and highly specific curriculum for your soul growth

If you want to know who was better, me or Willie Mays, you have to look at our career stats. And Willie’s bottom line was better.

If you want to change attitudes, start with a change in behavior. In other words, begin to act the part, as well as you can, of the person you would rather be, the person you most want to become. Gradually, the old, fearful person will fade away.

I am now in a place where I have to be truer to myself first before anyone else. If you’re not real, how can you expect others to be real with you? The older you get; you aim to have an understanding of who you are as a person. But, I can honestly say, I am a better me than I’ve ever been in younger years.

Don’t let anything stop you. There will be times when you’ll be disappointed, but you can’t stop. Make yourself the best that you can make out of what you are. The very best.

No matter how good you get you can always get better, and that’s the exciting part.

My parents grew up working class, but in that way that working class families do, they spent a fortune on education to better me.

We can drop the fundamental hope that there is a better “me” who one day will emerge. We can’t just jump over ourselves as if we were not there.

You always want to be better than you are. No matter what, I think that’s important.

We are always pregnant with a truer version of ourselves.

We work on ourselves in order to help others, but also we help others in order to work on ourselves.

All your dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them.

Every day I get better at knowing that it is not a choice to be an activist; rather, it is the only way to hold on to the better parts of my human self. It is the only way I can live and laugh without guilt.

Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing.

I am mentally ill. I can say that. I am not ashamed of that. I survived that, I’m still surviving it, but bring it on. Better me than you.

If you truly want to become a better you, it is imperative that you learn to feel good about yourself.
