"It's self-full to put yourself first, to be as good as possible, to take care of you, to keep you whole and healthy. You want your cup to be full. 'My cup runneth over.' What comes out of the cup is for y'all. What's in the cup is mine."

“Whatever is going on in your life right now, for me it’s a network, for you it might be a relationship. It might be your job, your boss. It might be somebody you have to boss, somebody you have to tend to. Whatever is going on in your life right now is to be used for a purpose that is greater than that moment.”
