It is important to acknowledge all your feelings and not beat yourself up for having them. Your feelings are not good or bad, they just are.
If you are afraid to take a chance, take one anyway. What you don't do can create the same regrets as the mistakes you make.
Pain is pain, hurt is hurt, fear is fear, anger is anger, and it has no color.
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.
So many of us invest a fortune making ourselves look good to the world, yet inside we are falling apart. It's time to invest on the inside.
The way to achieve your own success is to be willing to help somebody else get it first.
Never judge your clarity based on someone else's response.
A man can't be in the space where there is feminine rage and bitterness. He doesn't know how to navigate it.
We think we have to do something to be grateful or something has to be done in order for us to be grateful, when gratitude is a state of being.
The voice I had accepted as Divine Guidance was actually the voice of my ego leading me right into destruction.
I gave myself permission to feel and experience all of my emotions. In order to do that, I had to stop being afraid to feel. In order to do that, I taught myself to believe that no matter what I felt or what happened when I felt it, I would be okay.
Everyone has a purpose because God is a purposeful God.
Use your time, energy and talents to do the best you can right now. Spend no time wishing it were better
Instead of running from what you don't want, walk with commitment toward what you desire. Focus on where you are going rather than being obsessed with where you have been.
