“If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you’ve made, if they don’t realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have to go.”

Stop giving your life away to other people.

Happiness is not the absence of problems; it’s the ability to deal with them.

My past has not defined me, destroyed me, deterred me, or defeated me; it has only strengthened me.

The greatest step towards a life of simplicity is to learn to let go.

The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.

Once your mindset changes, everything on the outside will change along with it.

Those who have the ability to be grateful are the ones who have the ability to achieve greatness.

At every given moment we are absolutely perfect for what is required for our journey.

Your fear is 100% dependent on you for its survival.

Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny.

You have been blessed with immeasurable power to make positive changes in your life.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive—to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love—then make that day count!

We can’t undo a single thing we have ever done, but we can make decisions today that propel us to the life we want and towards the healing we need.

Cry. Forgive. Learn. Move on. Let your tears water the seeds of your future happiness.

She is delightfully chaotic; a beautiful mess. Loving her is a splendid adventure.

If you’re not comfortable enough with yourself or with your own truth when entering a relationship, then you’re not ready for that relationship.

On my worst days, I give the devil hell. On my best day, I hold a light for God to dwell.

Think deeply on your future. Think lightly on your day, tread gently on your strife. The mind a season changing. Tomorrow could be summer, each day a new life.

Those who bring light to others, never stay in the dark.

Dear hands, Don’t let them tell you art is a hopeless pursuit art my friends is pursuing light for the hopeless.

God is love, leading with light.

I dragged my pain into the darkness, I carried it into the light – No matter where I choose to take it, This pain refuses to subside. I washed my sins off in the ocean, I prayed all my badness away, Whichever God I choose to worship, I cannot make my soul be saved.

You can find beauty in the darkest of places. Be the light, my love. Bring smiles to their faces.

I’ve gotten a lot of things wrong in my life, a lot of missteps I’ve taken in strife; but one thing I’m certain i’ve always gotten right, is the feel of your lips so soft and so light.
