I finally realized that being grateful to my body was key to giving more love to myself.
My highest achievement: never shutting my heart down. Even in my darkest moments - through sexual abuse, a pregnancy at 14, lies and betrayals - I remained faithful, hopeful, and open to seeing the best in people, regardless of whether they were showing me their worst. I stayed open to believing that no matter how hard the climb, there is always a way to let in a sliver of light to illuminate the path forward.
So, that is my final lesson from the universe - you just do what you need to do, and stay on track.
If I lost control of the business I'd lose myself-or at least the ability to be myself. Owning myself is a way to be myself.
You are what you are by what you BELIEVE!
Think about any attachments that are depleting your emotional reserves. Consider letting them go.
Education is the way to move mountains, to build bridges, to change the world. Education is the path to the future. I believe that education is indeed freedom.
Only make decisions that support your self-image, self-esteem, and self-worth.
Don't complain about what you don't have. Use what you've got. To be less than your best is a sin.
The struggle of my life created empathy - I could relate to pain, being abandoned, having people not love me.
Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us. Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.
All these years I've been feeling like I was growing into myself. Finally, I feel grown.
Follow your instincts. That's where true wisdom manifests itself.
Every time you suppress some part of yourself or allow others to play you small, you are in essence ignoring the owner's manual your creator gave you and destroying your design.
