“People grow when they are loved well. If you want to help others heal, love them without an agenda.”

“I want details when I ask you about your day”

“Learning to ignore things is one of the great paths to inner peace.”

“Don’t be in such a hurry to condemn a person because he doesn’t do what you do, or think as you think. There was a time when you didn’t know what you know today.”

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find.”

“The fact that someone else loves you doesn’t rescue you from the project of loving yourself.”

“Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.”

“Silence is the most powerful scream”

“We often want it so badly that we ruin it before it begins. Overthinking. Fantasizing. Imagining. Expecting. Worrying. Doubting. Just let it naturally evolve”

“If at first you don’t succeed, fix your ponytail and start again.”

“Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself- I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy. Today I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead. Tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.”

“If flowers can teach themselves how to bloom after winter passes, so can you.”

“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.”
