“People never learn anything by being told. They have to find out for themselves.”

“You can’t live your life for other people. You’ve got to do what’s right for you, even if it hurts some people you love.”

“One of the most expensive things you could ever do is pay attention to the wrong people.”

“You don’t ever have to feel guilty about removing toxic people from your life. It doesn’t matter whether someone is a relative, romantic interest, employer, childhood friend, or a new acquaintance - you don’t have to make room for people who cause you pain or make you feel small. It’s one thing if a person owns up to their behaviour and makes an effort to change. But if a person disregards your feelings, ignores your boundaries, and “continues” to treat you in a harmful way, they need to go.”

“No matter how educated, talented, rich or cool you believe you are, how you treat people ultimately tells all.”

“Sometimes people think they know you. They know a few facts about you, and they piece you together in a way that makes sense to them. And if you don’t know yourself very well, you might even believe that they are right. But the truth is, that isn’t you. That isn’t you at all.”

“Sometimes the best goal you can set is just to get out of bed every day. If you can succeed at this, then other things become possible.”

“We produce destructive people by the way we are treating them in childhood.”

“The way people treat you is a statement of who they are as a human being. It’s not a statement about you.”
