“An expectation is a hidden agenda with control at its root.”

It is okay to feel sad even at Christmas time.

Until you heal, it will hold you hostage.

There are no toxic people, only toxic patterns.

Proud yourself when you find the courage to let go of that harmful person that you carry for so long.

Self-love means to appreciate who you are, while being committed to your evolution.

You are not hard to love. You are just stuck in a cycle of asking for it from the wrong person.

We have to learn to spot the difference and reflect often.

Appreciate people when you see their struggle, not only when you see them successful.

Self-love is not only about acceptance; it is also about growth.

Productive stress is a modern mask for addiction to chaos.

Honoring your mother is not the same as honoring her wounds.

This man [Barack Obama] does not have the interests of our country. That’s not his agenda. His agenda is to bring us down to a third-world country.

It’s also easy to look at them as a metaphor for a shadow organization that says one thing and has a completely different agenda on their mind, and anybody who gets in their way, they just get rid of them. Does that sound familiar?
