I like to see myself as a bridge builder, that is me building bridges between people, between races, between cultures, between politics, trying to find common ground.
From T. D. Jakes
When you make a decision to forgive it's a decision that you have to make intellectually.
I raised five children. They all have different personalities. All of them have different issues, different levels of success. That was a learning experience for me.
There are no college courses to build up self-esteem or high school or elementary school. If you don't get those values at a early age, nurtured in your home, you don't get them.
The first time I walked on a stage I knew that was what I was created to do. I knew that there was a calling and a sense of purpose in my life that gave me fulfillment and a sense of destiny.
I want to congratulate all the men out there who are working diligently to be good fathers whether they are stepfathers, or biological fathers or just spiritual fathers.
I think the first step is to understand that forgiveness does not exonerate the perpetrator. Forgiveness liberates the victim. It's a gift you give yourself.
Forgiveness is about empowering yourself, rather than empowering your past.
I'm for people bettering themselves, no matter who they are and where they are, doing all they can to be all they can be.
There is nothing I'm any more passionate than empowering the next generation.
