Once you know what it takes to live a better story, you don't have a choice.

It's true of Jamie. But I want it to be true of you too. And for that matter, me. I don't believe we are accidents in the world, and I don't believe we were supposed to be actors either. I think we were supposed to be ourselves and we were meant as a miracle. Jamie, Be encouraged. Your heart is writing a poem on the world and it's being turned into a thousand songs.

We aren't sure what we want in life, there is no story question in our lives either. And if there is no story question inviting us to take action, we will lose interest in our own lives.

What if part of God's message to the world was you, the true and real you?

If you want to be successful, you have to take 100% responsibility for everything that you experience in your life. This includes the level of your achievements, the results you produce, the quality of your relationships, the state of your health and physical fitness, your income, your debts, your feelings—everything!

I have felt most successful when I am inspiring and empowering people to love and accept themselves more deeply, to open their hearts to others more fully; to trust and believe in themselves more completely, and to pursue their dreams more boldly and passionately.
