I am the one I have been looking for.
IYANLA VANZANTI am the one I have been looking for.
IYANLA VANZANTPeople may not like what you do, people may not like how you do it, but these people are not living your life. You are!
IYANLA VANZANTAcceptance 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.
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.
IYANLA VANZANTSitting alone, listening to the sound of your breath, the beating of your heart is a reminder that you are sacred and blessed.
IYANLA VANZANTWhen you’re the strong one, people don’t give you permission to hurt.
IYANLA VANZANTThe only thing that goes on in your life is what your allow to go on in your life.
IYANLA VANZANTIt is not what you hear, it is where you listen from within yourself that gives meaning to the message.
IYANLA VANZANTIt takes a lot more courage to let something go than it does to hang on to it, trying to make it better. Letting go doesn’t mean ignoring a situation. Letting go means accepting what is, exactly as it is, without fear, resistance, or a struggle for control.
IYANLA VANZANTWhen your life is working there will be an absence of drama.
IYANLA VANZANTTo honor life, we must be willing to grow through what we don’t know yet, and outgrow what we know no longer fits us. We must be willing to give in to the process, moment by moment, realizing a new plot may be unfolding.
IYANLA VANZANTGratitude is like a magnet; the more grateful you are, the more you will receive to be grateful for.
IYANLA VANZANTEverybody does not have to like you. That is not their job. Liking you is not anyone’s purpose in life except yours.
IYANLA VANZANTYou set the standards for how you will be treated. People will treat you the exact way you treat yourself. So be good to you. Take time for yourself. Rest. Play. Shower yourself with affection, support, and gifts.
IYANLA VANZANTNothing 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.
IYANLA VANZANTCriticism 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.
