If anything interferes with my inner peace I will walk away. Arguments with family members. All that stuff. None of it matters.
I can't tell you how scary it can be walking onto a movie and suddenly joining this family it's like going to somebody else's Christmas dinner everyone knows everyone and you're there and you're not quite sure what you're supposed to be doing.
My kids say if there's any family dinner that doesn't result in somebody crying it's not a good dinner. They cry because it helps relieve them of a guilt or some onerous emotional burden. It's like a family tradition.
Some of the most important conversations I've ever had occurred at my family's dinner table.
Faith gives you an inner strength and a sense of balance and perspective in life.
Our country's political discourse and debate are enriched by discussions of the political implications of our faith traditions whether they are taking place in our communities at our dinner tables or in our places of worship.
My faith helps me understand that circumstances don't dictate my happiness my inner peace.
Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent but with great inner drive go so much further than people with vastly superior talent.
It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner when you're number one. What you got to have is faith and discipline when you're not a winner.
Be a sinner and sin strongly but more strongly have faith and rejoice in Christ.
Successful entrepreneurs find the balance between listening to their inner voice and staying persistent in driving for success - because sometimes success is waiting right across from the transitional bump that's disguised as failure.
Our system provides for a winner to take office on January 20th and he is expected to take command of the ship of state. Failure to do so characterized by hesitation and indecision will harm the national interest.
No man can be a failure if he thinks he's a success If he thinks he is a winner then he is.
But beginners to the World Economics Forum have to understand there is no single Davos experience and there is no single Davos community either. There are numerous tribes who interact only at a minimal level.
But inner experience is only one source of human knowledge.
Many of the insights of the saint stem from their experience as sinners.
My parents discussed singing every night over the dinner table I had a tremendous music education.
A person like myself born and raised in the inner city of Atlanta Georgia to lower-middle-class parents. But I had the opportunity to get an education to go and earn a commission in the United States Army to serve for 22 years to lead men and women in combat.
Dream study impacts culture. We are put in touch with the inner poet who dreams. We hear our inner subjective response to the outer world. That helps spiritualize our lives.
Vision gets the dreams started. Dreaming employs your God-given imagination to reinforce the vision. Both are part of something I believe is absolutely necessary to building the life of a champion a winner a person of high character who is consistently at the top of whatever game he or she is in.
Acting is also working with people who invite you into their dreams and trust you with their innermost being.
Winners I am convinced imagine their dreams first. They want it with all their heart and expect it to come true. There is I believe no other way to live.
I think I've done every crazy diet there was in the beginning but it's weird: I'm thinner now than I was when I was modeling. I don't obsess about it.
I keep my diet simple by sticking to mostly fruits and vegetables all day and then having whatever I want for dinner. I end up making healthy choices like sushi or grilled fish because I feel so good from eating well.
The other day I got a text from a boy but it wasn't hot. I mean if you're going to text me every day you haven't seen me for months and you're trying to seduce me you'd better spice up that text and make it more exciting than 'How was your day? I hope you're having a beautiful one.' Sadly I haven't been doing a lot of kissing lately.
