IYANLA VANZANTLives fall apart when they need to be rebuilt.
IYANLA VANZANTIt is not your duty or responsibility to change the minds of other people. The nature of their thinking is advanced or limited by their experience. In your presence, they have an opportunity to learn about you and, perhaps, to grow.
