“Respect me, not because I respect you, but because I deserve your respect.”

Don’t blame life for what you do. That is so selfish and ignorant on your behalf.

If you love someone, you love them. You don’t allow your pride to stop you from expressing your love to them.

You may be a disaster for a day, a month, or a year. Just don’t be a disaster forever.

Do you know what it feels like to be wounded and told that you caused the wound to yourself by choosing to be where the harm landed?

Broken wings are a sign of struggle and strength.

A heart does turn cold unless it’s been treated with coldness for a while.

Being a leader is about leading your own mind’s logic and leading your heart’s reason. Be cognizant of the decisions that your mind and heart make, and your life will be much more meaningful and rewarding.

You don’t need to explain why you’re protecting your soul from harm. You really don’t.

If you gave them once the love that they did not deserve, they will come back for more.

Life is not fair, but we can choose to be fair humans even if life or other humans choose to be unfair to us.

The reality you live in is partially up to you. The fantasy you live in is entirely up to you.

You can draw a path for your life and have all of your goals set. You can change yourself as much as possible and change things around you just to reach those goals.

Your opinion of me does not equal my self-worth.

Letting go does not mean that you are giving up or that you are weak. It could just mean that you are no longer allowing what hurts you to control you.

Take responsibility for the choices you could have made but restrained yourself from making.

Isn’t it amazing how easily you can cheat yourself out of the right choices by convincing yourself that you deserve the wrong ones? It’s highly illogical when you think about it. You deserve a better life, you deserve better health, and you deserve to lose weight.

Remember that everyone deserves some fun during working hours.

A leader does not deserve the name unless he is willing occasionally to stand alone.

The person you hurt the most doesn’t deserve to be hurt.

I do not believe that things happen accidentally; I believe you earn them.

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.

Even if we didn’t know the context, we were instructed to remember that context existed. Everyone on earth, they’d tell us, was carrying around an unseen history, and that alone deserved some tolerance.
