I live by this and I tell people this: if you're not growing together, you're growing apart. And it's so important in order to stay on the same page, you must communicate and it doesn't matter if you're not ready to hear it or you're not ready to say it. You need to say it and you need to listen because those words can save your relationship. Wholeheartedly. You've got to be open and you've got to be honest no matter the circumstance.

Your character and integrity come from the times that life's said no to you.

People are going to tell you everything that's wrong with you. And if you're not clear on everything that's right and everything that's beautiful about you, people will steal you. And so it's just a matter of really having the courage to create the life that is specific to you and no one else.

Success isn't measured by money or power or social rank. Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace.

While it can be therapeutic to put something off, procrastination or ignoring the problem isn't self-care; in fact it's opposite. Ignoring a problem just makes it more of a problem. Self-care involves scheduling things so that they don't reach problem status and includes being kind to your future self by not leaving her a mess to handle.
