IYANLA VANZANTMost of us know exactly what it is that creates the pain, confusion, stagnation and disruption in our lives. When we find something or someone creating in our lives that which we do not want, we must muster the courage and strength to stop it.
IYANLA VANZANTLife 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.
IYANLA VANZANTTheir issues are not your issues.
IYANLA VANZANTEverything that happens to you is a reflection of what you believe about yourself. We cannot outperform our level of self-esteem. We cannot draw to ourselves more than we think we are worth.
IYANLA VANZANTWhen you can tell the story and it doesn’t bring up any pain, you know it is healed.
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 stand and share your story in an empowering way, your story will heal you and your story will heal somebody else.
IYANLA VANZANTYour willingness to look at your darkness is what empowers you to change.
IYANLA VANZANTThe only thing that goes on in your life is what your allow to go on in your life.
IYANLA VANZANTYou 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.
IYANLA VANZANTWith all things in life, we do not get what we ask for, we get what we expect.
IYANLA VANZANTIf you should encounter angry or unkind actions today, take a deep breath, reach deep within and greet the lack of love with love.
IYANLA VANZANTIf 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?
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 VANZANTIf you really want to live your life to the fullest and realize your greatest potential, you must be willing to run the risk of making some people mad. People may not like how you do it, but these people are not living your life. You are!
