“Just for today, allow yourself to embrace all that you are every moment. Know that you are a vessel of light. Allow yourself to release all doubts about your ability, the mistakes of the past, the fear of the future.”

When we have peace in our hearts and minds, we draw peace into our lives.

Lives fall apart when they need to be rebuilt.

Everybody does not have to like you. That is not their job. Liking you is not anyone’s purpose in life except yours.

Nothing destroys self-worth, self-acceptance and self-love faster than denying what you feel. Without feelings, you would not know where you are in life. Nor would you know what areas you need to work on. Honor your feelings. Allow yourself to feel them.

Every day is your day if you claim it. If you wait for somebody else to make it for you, you’re going to be disappointed.

Criticism does not make you smarter or better than the one you are criticizing. In fact, the stuff you are critical of in others is the same stuff you don’t like about yourself.

If someone has offended you, insulted you, or disappointed you, let it go! If you are remembering all the ways you have been hurt or forgotten, let it go! Ask yourself, what good does it do for me to hold on to this?

When you make a decision and a commitment to do something good for yourself, it is like dropping a pebble in a pond. It has a rippling effect. The firmer the decision, the stronger the frequency and wider the range of things that will be reached.

When you can tell the story and it doesn’t bring up any pain, you know it is healed.

It 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.

Family is supposed to be our safe haven. Very often, it’s the place where we find the deepest heartache.

Acceptance means that you know, regardless of what happened, that there is something bigger than you at work. It also means you know that you are okay and that you will continue to be okay.

When you’re the strong one, people don’t give you permission to hurt.

You have to meet people where they are, and sometimes you have to leave them there.

If you are afraid to take a chance, take one anyway. What you don’t do can create the same regrets as the mistakes you make.

If you should encounter angry or unkind actions today, take a deep breath, reach deep within and greet the lack of love with love.
