Hill Harper Life Quotations

I champion the idea of being more conscious. I call it being an active architect of your own life. Building your life like an architect builds a structure.

The word 'courage,' one of my favorite words, the root or the etymology of that word is 'cour,' which means heart. I think true courage is actually following your heart and not getting or succumbing to what other people's definition of what your life should be. Live your life.

You never know what's going on in someone's life. You never know what's really going on behind what they present.

You deserve a great life. I want to see you become unreasonably happy. And you can. And you will.

The wealth cure is looking at your life step by step - making a diagnosis and saying, 'Am I using money or is money using me?'

I believe we all have the capacity to be masters of many things, and there's nothing that we can't do. You can be a great actor and also be a great writer.

Part of getting other people to focus on the future rather than being myopically focused on the present is about living that way yourself and showing that you can make choices today that are about future outcomes and still be having a great time into the present and enjoying your life.

You're writing your life as you go - the question becomes, how do you want to write your life?

Money is important. It is an important resource to have to help us build the life we want, but we overvalue it.
