“Forgiveness of those who have transgressed against you, or those you love, is not about them; it is about you. It is a gift to yourself.”

Awareness without action is worthless.

You’re only lonely if you’re not there for you

If you do different, you will have different. If you begin to require more of yourself, that in and of itself is different.

You cannot be who and what you are unless you have a lifestyle, both internally and externally, that is designed to support that definition of self.

You can’t put feathers on a dog and call it a chicken!

No matter how flat you make a pancake, it’s still got two sides.

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.

I ask you to go back and read them over again, and this time answer them keeping in mind that you are writing your children’s future with your answers.

You have to name it to claim it

Power begins with having a crystal-clear view of reality and what each and every person in your life is driven by.

Sometimes you just got to give yourself what you wish someone else would give you.

Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?

Sometimes you make the right decision, sometimes you make the decision right.

There are some sick people in this world

Experts indicate that you should aim for consistent weight loss of about one to two pounds per week, so you should remain realistic—you aren’t going to lose 40 pounds per week (no matter what any diet product claims).

If you want more, you have to require more from yourself.

Father forgive us, for we do not what we know.

Self-love means caring for ourselves enough to forgive people in our past so that the wounds can no longer damage us – for our wounds do not hurt the people who hurt us, they hurt only us.

Forgiveness does not come easily to us, especially when someone we have trusted betrays our trust. And yet if we do not learn to forgive, we will discover that we can never really rebuild trust.

Sin forsaken is one of the best evidences of sin forgiven.

If only I wasn’t an atheist, I could get away with anything. You’d just ask for forgiveness and then you’d be forgiven. It sounds much better than having to live with guilt.

Somehow forgiveness, with love and tolerance, accomplishes miracles that can happen in no other way.

There is no word more “dangerous” than liberalism, because to oppose it is the new “unforgivable sin.”

To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.
