Kindness

You have to let go of what could have been, how you should have acted and what you wish you would have said differently. You have to accept that you can’t change the past experiences, opinions of others at that moment in time or outcomes from their choices or yours. When you finally recognize that truth then you will understand the true meaning of forgiveness of yourself and others. From this point you will finally be free.

You can’t change how people feel about you - so don’t try. Just live your life, and be happy.

Just for the record darling, not all positive change feels positive in the beginning.

She is a beautiful piece of broken pottery, put back together by her own hands. And a critical world judges her cracks while missing the beauty of how she made herself whole again.

I know this transformation is painful, but you’re not falling apart; you’re just falling into something different, with a new capacity to be beautiful.

Don’t say ‘maybe’ if you want to say ‘no’.

Nobody wants to hear this, but sometimes the person you want the most is the person you’re best without.

You may not see it today or tomorrow, but you will look back in a few years and be absolutely perplexed and awed by how every little thing added up and brought you somewhere wonderful - or where you’ve always wanted to be. You will be grateful that things didn’t work out the way you once wanted.

Most misunderstandings in the world could be avoided if people would simply take the time to ask, “What else could this mean?”

I think part of the reason why we hold on to something so tightly is we fear something great won’t happen twice.

One day you will wake up and there won’t be any more time to do the things you’ve always wanted. Do it now.
