“Our society nurtures the illusion that all the rewards go to the people who are perfect. But many of us are finding out that trying to be perfect is costly.”

What you can’t be with, won’t let you be.

Think about how audacious it is to really believe in yourself.

Embracing our dark side gives us a new found freedom to be with the darkness in others. For when I can love all of me, I will love all of you.

We were birthed with one soul to take care of, and we must take care of it.

Loving yourself means making choices that allow you to care for the important person that you are.

To get to this place of a warrior’s courage, we must give up the stories that have ruled our lives and shatter the self-image we created to affirm our story.

Your soul never asks you to endure anything you can’t handle.

Asking “Am I choosing from my divinity or am I choosing from my humanity? “ opens the door for us to experience realms of reality that we may never have visited before.

Challenge the person you think you are in order to unveil the person you are capable of becoming

Many of us don’t realize that we have a choice about which aspect of ourselves we will use as the foundation upon which we build our lives.

If you ask the Universe to be your partner and guide you on the path to wholeness, it will oblige.

People with hearts filled with love, peace, and compassion live in heaven.

We must risk the journey to a higher ground where there is freedom from the gravitational pull of our stories, the pull that comes from years of trying to prove that the stories we tell ourselves, the ones we’ve made up, are the truth.

Unfortunately, unless we’re focused on building up our courage, which gives us our self-confidence and all that we need to make quantum change in our lives, the voice of fear will always take the lead inside our minds.

A strong plan of action will yield you quantum results and will ensure that you don’t fall into the familiar patterns of your past.

Reclaiming the parts of ourselves that we have relegated to the shadow is the most reliable path to actualizing all of our human potential.

It is disgraceful to live at the cost of one’s self-respect.

A Black beauty has to protect her skin at all cost.

It’s not what you pay a man, but what he costs you that counts.

It is hard to contend against one’s heart’s desire; for whatever it wishes to have it buys at the cost of soul.

Who wishes to fight must first count the cost

Courtesy costs nothing, but buys everything.

The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.

The greed of drug companies is out of control and the cost is human lives.
