What material success does is provide you with the ability to concentrate on other things that really matter. And that is being able to make a difference, not only in your own life, but in other people's lives.

I have a lot of things to prove to myself. One is that I can live my life fearlessly.

My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you I the best place for the next moment.

Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.

What God intended for you goes far beyond anything you can imagine.

So go ahead. Fall down. The world looks different from the ground.

You CAN have it all. You just can't have it all at once.

Excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism.

I feel that luck is preparation meeting opportunity.

Understand that the right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege. Use it. Dwell in possibility.

I'm black, I don't feel burdened by it and I don't think it's a huge responsibility. It's part of who I am. It does not define me.

The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be.

I had no idea that being your authentic self could make me as rich as I've become. If I had, I'd have done it a lot earlier.

The thing you fear most has no power. Your fear of it is what has the power. Facing the truth really will set you free.

If you want to accomplish the goals of your life, you have to begin with the spirit.

I was raised to believe that excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism. And that's how I operate my life.

When I look into the future, it's so bright it burns my eyes.

It does not matter how you came into the world, what matters is that you are here.

What I know is, is that if you do work that you love, and the work fulfills you, the rest will come.

You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job, and not be paid for it.
