You must lose everything in order to gain anything.
Stop being perfect, because obsessing over being perfect stops you from growing.
I think happiness is overrated. Satisfied, at peace-those would be more realistic goals.
You dont know someone until you know what they want.
Each misstep leads to the next correct step.
You don't really get to choose who you fall in love with. Love chooses you.
In Missouri, where I come from, we don't talk about what we do - we just do it. If we talk about it, it's seen as bragging.
Without pain and suffering, we would be nothing
Fame makes you feel permanently like a girl walking past construction workers.
Personally I like ageing. With age comes wisdom and I have said it before and I say it again, I will take wisdom over youth any day.
There's no right. There's no wrong. There's only popular opinion.
You have to consider the possibility that God does not like you.
I embrace the messiness of life. I find it so beautiful actually.
The things you own end up owning you.
No more excuses. I can't blame anything on my parents. I'm responsible for my mistakes and my choices.
I had a friend who worked at a hospice, and he said people in their final moments don't discuss their successes, awards or what books they wrote or what they accomplished. They only talk about their loves and their regrets, and I think that's very telling.
Success is a beast. And it actually puts the emphasis on the wrong thing. You get away with more instead of looking within.
You are not the car you drive.
I believe you make your day. You make your life.
There's peace in understanding that I have only one life, here and now, and I'm responsible.
I don't want to waste time being angry at someone I love.
You make yourself what you are. You have control of your own destiny.
Do you know how you tell real love? It's when someone else's interest trumps your own.
Get into something that's really personal that means something to you, where you have something to say and is something really individualized. I wish I was more aware of that when I started my career instead of doing a few things I was told would be good for me. And they weren't, because it left me empty, so I didn't do a good job anyways. I think that's what's key to what we do: It's got to be personal.
America is not a country, it’s a business.
