"Find the smartest people you can and surround yourself with them."

"If you overthink things, the moment will pass you by."

"I am grateful for all those dark years, even though in retrospect they seem like a long, bitter prayer that was answered finally.”

"The important thing is to always ask the world to do some things. But sometimes they cannot be done, so you have to take a stab, and you have to do them."

"I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles.”

"I really think a champion is defined not by their wins but by how they can recover when they fall."

“I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.”

"Learn to embrace your own unique beauty, celebrate your unique gifts with confidence. Your imperfections are actually a gift."

“Don’t settle for average. Bring your best to the moment. Then, whether it fails or succeeds, at least you know you gave all you had. We need to live the best that’s in us.”

"Sometimes the future changes quickly and completely, and we’re left with only the choice of what to do next. We can choose to be afraid of it. Just stand there trembling, not moving. Assuming the worst that can happen. Or we step forward into the unknown, and assume it will be brilliant."

"You have to rely on your support system. Growing up, I always thought it was a sign of weakness to ask for help, but now I realize it's really a sign of strength to say, 'I need help, I can't do it all.'"

"I encourage women to step up. Don’t wait for somebody to ask you."
