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

I find the best way to love someone is not to change them, but instead, help them reveal the greatest version of themselves.

Stop giving your life away to other people.

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

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.

Not doing it is certainly the best way to not getting it.

With the ambitious, the failure of one expedient is the suggestion of another; but with the irresolute, defeat usually occasions abandonment of purpose.

To say that we have a clear conscience is to utter a solecism; had we never sinned we should have had no conscience. Were defeat unknown, neither would victory be celebrated by songs of triumph.

Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional.

You never win the silver, you only lose the gold.

Not doing it is certainly the best way to not getting it.

Sometimes it does upset you when you lose in the finals, or even in a quarterfinal or semifinal, especially when you think, ‘Maybe I could have played better,’ or even if you gave your 100 percent, and even then, you lose.

One of the secrets of success is to refuse to let temporary setbacks defeat us.
