Our business in life is not to get ahead of others but to get ahead of ourselves.

God gave us the gift of life it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well.

Rest assured that whatever station of life we are placed princely or lowly it contains the lessons and experiences necessary at the moment for our evolution and gives us the best advantage for the development of ourselves.

Each of us has been put on earth with the ability to do something well. We cheat ourselves and the world if we don't use that ability as best we can.

When we seek to discover the best in others we somehow bring out the best in ourselves.

As a mom I know it is my responsibility and no one else's to raise my kids. But we have to ask ourselves what does it mean when so many parents are finding their best efforts undermined by an avalanche of advertisements aimed at our kids.

I think we all have blocks between us and the best version of ourselves whether it's shyness insecurity anxiety whether it's a physical block and the story of a person overcoming that block to their best self. It's truly inspiring because I think all of us are engaged in that every day.

The best thing about giving of ourselves is that what we get is always better than what we give. The reaction is greater than the action.

Which government is the best? The one that teaches us to govern ourselves.

The best government is that which teaches us to govern ourselves.
