Whatever obstacles appear in your path, put your head down and get past them. Those obstacles aren't real. They're just God's way of testing you. He's asking you, 'Do you want to make it or not?'

More quotes by Russell Simmons
I don't eat anything that runs away from me.
Russell Simmons
I have 2 million Twitter followers. Some of those people are also yogis and activists and people who really go out and make a difference. I do as much as I can with my voice. It's effortless in some cases. I try to remind everybody that they have that kind of voice.
Russell Simmons
No matter where you want to go, as long as you follow your path with faith, dedication and hard work, you are going to get there.
Russell Simmons
A clear and focused mind will last a lifetime. Getting your mind in shape is nothing less than the key to sustainable success in the world.

There is no happiness until the mind is still. The cause of all sickness and sadness is the fluctuation of the mind.
Russell Simmons
Culture in America and everywhere else comes from the suffering, from those who don't want the old ways. They want to bring in the new, whether it's the ballet, when it started, or Shakespeare.

I think people instinctively know that their job is to give service and that they are part of a community. It had a great impact on me when my father walked the picket lines and I walked with him during the civil rights movement.

There was a moment when I was watching Martin Lawrence and Will Smith in 'Badboys' that I felt, you know, inspired. I don't know if I was proud, because so many people do the work. Everyone's part of a team that develops over the years and gives people chances. There have been some good moments watching people develop.
Russell Simmons
I just try to, in my own way, contribute to making a better Hollywood, to move Hollywood to be a leader in social justice, as it always has been, and not to have any holes in their own backyard while they continue to push for equality and all the things that they always stand up for.
Russell Simmons
The person who understands Dharma will have the opposite reaction to a hard job. That person will be eager to get started, no matter what kind of work is in front of her, because she understands that she's doing God's work. And when you're working for God, nothing is too hard.
Russell Simmons
We meditate so we can see miracles unfolding. Without stillness life is a blur.
Russell Simmons
I live in hip-hop. I don't find it to be offensive.
Russell Simmons
I try to use my voice. I know that celebrity is valuable, and people do listen.
Russell Simmons
Quiet time is the key. We have hundreds of thousands of kids around the country meditating through the David Lynch Foundation.
Russell Simmons
A person's strength is to know their weaknesses.
Russell Simmons
You know, sometimes people never get to learn how successful they could have been because they give up too easily. If I've learned one thing in all my years in the business, it's that often things don't work out the way you want at first. But that doesn't mean you should give up.
