The heart has reasons that reason does not understand.
Every human being's essential nature is perfect and faultless, but after years of immersion in the world we easily forget our roots and take on a counterfeit nature.
You can't hire someone else to do your push-ups for you.
Establishing goals is all right if you don't let them deprive you of interesting detours.
Comedy should be a source of positivity. I don't want to bully people, and I don't want people to come to my show to feel terrible about something. I'm actually very open to having a conversation about what I should or shouldn't say.
You've got to be original, because if you're like someone else, what do they need you for?
Fitting in is a short-term strategy that gets you nowhere. Standing out is a long-term strategy that takes guts and produces results.
If a human being is filled with happiness and positivity, this is what they radiate out into the world. We each affect our environment and that collective consciousness. The more people who are diving within and transcending and are getting that happiness and positivity, the better the world will be.
Positivity is such a high predicator of success rates.
I do think that it's a responsibility when there are so few of us as African Americans to kind of get to that place of success in a positive light. We should take a stance and stand for something and use that platform for positivity.
It's opener, out there, in the wide, open air.
When we inject people with positivity, their outlook expands. They see the big picture. When we inject them with neutrality or negativity, their peripheral vision shrinks. There is no big picture, no dots to connect.
A musk deer searches for the source of the fragrance of musk, but it won't find it because the fragrance comes from within itself. Bliss is not to be found outside of us; it exists within us.
What you resist, persists
One of my rules is: Never TRY to do anything. Just do it.
You can either practice being right or practice being kind.
Have patience. Wait until the mud settles and the water is clear. Remain unmoving until right action arises by itself.
If anyone tries to complicate your life, turn and walk away from them.
If it's going to be, it's up to me.
When you've understood this scripture, throw it away. If you can't understand this scripture, throw it away. I insist on your freedom.
