Until you are willing to accept total and complete responsibility for every aspect of your life, your life will keep sending you experiences designed to get your attention.
Until you heal the wounds of your past, you will continue to bleed.
Family is supposed to be our safe haven. Very often, it’s the place where we find the deepest heartache.
From where you sit, it may seem that certain people should know better. People are who they are and do what they do whether or not you like it or agree with them. We each have different lessons to learn. We each take a different path to our lessons.
We must each learn to feel comfortable in our own uniqueness by rising above the fear of being wrong and the aversion to being different.
If you don’t have a vision you’re going to be stuck in what you know. And the only thing you know is what you’ve already seen.
Planning is the only way to keep yourself on track. Plan your moments to be joyous. Plan your days to be filled with peace. Plan your life to be an experience of growth. When you know where you are going, the universe will clear a path for you.
If it’s not your story to tell, you don’t tell it.
Everything 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.
Choice is a divine teacher, for when we choose we learn that nothing is ever put in our path without a reason.
People are hurting. People are suffering. But you can not get everywhere.
We make our days pleasant or miserable. If we insist on being miserable, irritable and nasty, more than likely the day will give us exactly what we give it. A day is too valuable to waste on misery and unhappiness.
All of us have ways in which we mask and cover our pain.
Accept and acknowledge your own brilliance. Stop waiting for others to tell you how great you are! Believe it for yourself and about yourself.
We must learn not to give up when requirements are not met or when commitments are broken. To do so is a refusal to allow mistakes to be corrected and a demonstration of an unwillingness to forgive yourself or anyone else who needs forgiveness.
When you find yourself in a new situation, everything that requires healing is going to rush to the surface.
In the process of planning and having a wedding, I forgot there would actually be a marriage, a union of minds, bodies, souls, and issues that would come together as soon as the ceremony was over.
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.
If you don’t ask for what you need, the need will keep getting bigger.
Never judge your clarity based on someone else’s response.
