“Be patient when it seems things are not going right and may never be right again. Accept that what is yours will come to you in the right way at just the right moment.”

If you don’t ask for what you need, the need will keep getting bigger.

People may not like what you do, people may not like how you do it, but these people are not living your life. You are!

When you continue to give without receiving, the only thing you are proving is that you know how to be taken advantage of.

Have the courage to be exactly who you are without apology. Admit your mistakes without beating yourself up. Release all shame! Release all guilt! You cannot live if you are hiding behind what was. Focus on what is, right now, and that is you!

Everything happens when it needs to happen; everyone is always where they need to be. You will never miss out on what is meant for you, even if it has to come to you in a roundabout way.

You will stumble at time, forget what you want, fall headfirst into your old habits and beliefs. Fear not! Always remember to be patient and loving with yourself and others because that is what God does all the time.

Life doesn’t actually knock you down. It does, however, provide you with many opportunities to evaluate your standing in life: what you stand on, what you stand for, how you stand within yourself and for yourself.

It’s important that we share our experiences with other people. Your story will heal you and your story will heal somebody else. When you tell your story, you free yourself and give other people permission to acknowledge their own story.

You do not have to love what is going on in your life, but you must accept that it, whatever it is, is going on. As long as you do not accept reality, you are powerless to define the role you will play.

Many of us have a need to be right. We then set out to make ourselves right by making someone else wrong. We must get right with ourselves. Once we do, we will have so much to do, we will not have time to keep track of who is wrong.

Gratitude is like a magnet; the more grateful you are, the more you will receive to be grateful for.

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.

He who accepts his poverty unhurt I’d say is rich although he lacked a shirt. But truly poor are they who whine and fret and covet what they cannot hope to get.

Feminine intuition? Is that what you wanted the robot for? You men. Faced with a woman reaching a correct conclusion and unable to accept the fact that she is your equal or superior in intelligence, you invent something called feminine intuition.

When you do not accept the insult some one casts on you, it goes back to the person who indulged in it first; a registered letter that is not accepted returns to the sender.

Too often in life, something happens and we blame other people for us not being happy or satisfied or fulfilled. So the point is, we all have choices, and we make the choice to accept people or situations or to not accept situations.

Acceptance is taking from God’s hand absolutely anything He gives, looking into His face in trust and thanksgiving.

Stop accepting abstract noun love. Real love is always action verb.

Before anyone else, women need to accept that neither does life stop, nor does it change for those few days in a month.

I cannot accept this invitation for I do not believe that the meaning of the Constitution was forever ‘fixed’ at the Philadelphia Convention… To the contrary, the government they devised was defective from the start. [Progressive]
