"Freedom is realizing you have a choice."

"Rulers are not anointed. They are created by the void of self-mastery."

"Past and future is determined by what is now…right now! This is why the present is a gift; the only one that ultimately matters most."

"The energy it took to exit mother’s womb is the same force required to manifest a dream...a different kind of struggle. Push, push, push!"

"Life is short only if you are not living your purpose."

"The positive vibrations of unregulated joy, peace, happiness and tranquility is freedom."

"It is common to represent a title, but inspiring to represent a purpose."

"To conquer frustration, one must remain intensely focused on the outcome, not the obstacles."

"What surrounds us is what is within us."

"Let discernment be your trustee, and mistakes your teacher."

"There are two paths of which one may choose in the walk of life; one we are born with, and the one we consciously blaze. One is naturally true, while the other is a perceptive illusion. Choose wisely at each fork in the road."

"Betrayal and dishonor is usually an inside job. Keep it 'sucka-free', loved one!"

"A King and Queen cannot support a crown with eyes looking down. Their universe expands as far as you can see."

"This path was not that of my conscious choosing. But after persistent subconscious confrontation, I have finally embraced what is, 'souly' for me...and I am thankful, when called upon, to be able to share and give to those who seek their own way of the path."

"Bravado may stir the crowd, but courage needs no audience."

"Life, for the living, is a gift of opportunity; an exercise of the will to choose."

"Head up, heart open. To better days!"
