Bad things are gonna happen in life. People will hurt you. But you can't use that as an excuse to hurt someone back.

If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you will fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

The best thing that ever happened to me as a student was when a teacher told me "Let me get back to you on that. I don't know the answer but I’ll do some research."

It proved to me that you don’t always need to share an immediate opinion or pretend like you know everything.

[Denzel Washington @OfficiaIDenzeI]

Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.

I don’t think people realize how much strength it takes to pull one’s self out of a mentally dark place. So if you’ve done that today or any day, I am proud of you.

Embarrassment is the cost of entry.

If you aren't willing to look like a foolish beginner, you'll never become a graceful master.

To anyone who feels like they “wasted” the time during quarantine because they didn’t write a book or learn a second language or get their bodies in shape, I have good news: Quarantine ain't over get back inside.

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.

You wouldn’t plant a seed and then dig it up every few hours to see if it has grown.

So why keep questioning yourself, your decisions, and your hard work?

Stop overthinking, have patience, and keep watering your seeds.

Some of the best advice I’ve come across:

Don’t ever attach yourself to a person, a place, a company, an organization or a project. Attach yourself to a mission, a calling, a purpose ONLY. That’s how you keep your power & your peace.

It’s worked pretty well for me so far.

[Denzel Washington @OfficiaIDenzeI]

Staying positive doesn't mean you have to be happy all the time. It means that even on hard days you know that there are better ones coming.

[Denzel Washington @OfficiaIDenzeI]

Put God first.
Put God first in everything you do. Everything that you think you see in me. Everything that I’ve accomplished, everything that you think I have – and I have a few things. Everything that I have is by the grace of God. Understand that. It’s a gift.

No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying.

[Denzel Washington @OfficiaIDenzeI]

Shout out to everyone making progress that no one recognizes because you never let anyone see your darkest moments. You’ve been silently winning battles and transforming yourself. Be proud of every step you’re making in the right direction. Keep going because you’ve got this

I send love and prayers to Vanessa and the entire Bryant family.

When all doors behind you get shut, it's a sign that you need to stop looking back and start moving forward.
