“We fear what we don’t understand.”

Stop giving people access to your life when they refuse to handle you with care.

Move on – but keep in mind that history repeats itself, unless you choose to break the cycle.

Don’t let them fill with you up false hope and empty promises. People pour their heart out through their actions; not their words.

Stop blaming yourself for the things you did before you learned to love yourself.

When you cannot change a situation, you must change your perception of the person harming you in that situation, to stay in your power.

You always have an opportunity to see the past for what it is, and live freely in today.

When you open up your heart, they call you soft, even though it’s the hardest thing to do.

It is okay to feel sad even at Christmas time.

Until you heal, it will hold you hostage.

There are no toxic people, only toxic patterns.

Proud yourself when you find the courage to let go of that harmful person that you carry for so long.

Self-love means to appreciate who you are, while being committed to your evolution.

You are not hard to love. You are just stuck in a cycle of asking for it from the wrong person.

We have to learn to spot the difference and reflect often.

Appreciate people when you see their struggle, not only when you see them successful.

An expectation is a hidden agenda with control at its root.

All my life, I’ve been frightened at the moment I sit down to write.

We fear men so much, because we fear God so little. One fear cures another. When man’s terror scares you, turn your thoughts to the wrath of God.

Communicating our questions, hopes, and fears in prayer makes them-even to ourselves-more open and clear.

Any fear associated with giving to God’s kingdom is irrational. It’s on par with a farmer who, out of fear of losing his seed, refuses to plant his fields.

I have a big fear of change, or negative change, anyway. I’m basically the same person I was when I won ‘Idol,’ or when I was 10.

If you don’t do what Fear says…you’ll go ahead and speak up, you’ll sign up, you’ll buy, you’ll sell, you’ll jump.

Imagination is the hotbed where this sin is too often hatched. Guard your thoughts, and there will be little fear about your actions.

The human emotional system can be broken down into roughly two elements: fear and love. Love is of the soul. Fear is of the personality.
