TWEETABLE QUOTES


“At the end of the day, I wanted to be love for me, and I wanted
to have friends. And it wasn’t until I can love me enough – pour
into Lisa enough, a firm Lisa enough – to say, ‘Hold on. I’m
enough woman. I’m smart enough. I’m loving enough.’” (15:11)


“I feel like a vision helps you see what you wanna get. But the
feeling, the feeling is the turbo boost. So, I don’t wanna just
see it. I wanna feel it.” (17:23)


“You can’t take a sixty-four ounce dream and put it in a
twenty-four ounce container called you. Sometimes your dreams are
bigger than your capacity.” (26:15)


“I don’t do intellectual learning. I do DNA learning. I want it
to be in my cells.” (38:39)


“Prayer is asking the universe for what you want. Meditation and
stillness is being quiet long enough to hear the daggone answer.”
(41:46)


“When you don’t give yourself permission to fail, you really
haven’t given yourself permission to fly.” (47:08)


“When you don’t forgive you, you’ve only given yourself
permission to win. And so, you are holding yourself hostage to an
unrealistic expectation that sets yourself up to be disappointed
with self repeatedly.” (49:53)
