Our lives are all beautiful. Some of us just choose to look at the garden and some of us choose to complain about the gardening.

Being challenged to be your best is great, but life is hard enough without being with people who are hard on you.

Clear and honest communication is a sign of respect. In the silence, we often find all of the answers we wish they would have been decent enough to tell us in person. Listen closely and take notes, learn the lesson and graduate.

You have so much potential. The only thing that will stop you from achieving the great things you can is you.

If he/she giving you the minimum to keep you around, it’s simply to use you later – for sex, in case whatever is in his/her focus doesn’t work out, or simply to get an ego boost. Don’t be anyone’s fool. If you’re not everything to them, it’s because they are keeping their options open. Don’t be an option, even if they are your current priority.

Be with someone who makes you feel like the most beautiful, safest and most cherished person in the world. Yes, you’ll have dips and hard times, but we should always feel the love and respect of our partners, even when angry, hurt or frustrated.

Someone who doesn’t care about the feelings of others is mean, but someone who hurts them on purpose is flat-out disgusting. If you have someone in your life like this, be warned: It’s not their circumstances, it’s their character.

Your friends are the family you choose (and who choose you). Celebrate them (and with them!)

To be loved is an honor and a blessing.

One man’s stand-by is another man’s treasure…

What is true always comes out and it is what remains. If the paint on that pretty picture starts to crack, don’t try and paint over it. Look closer and see what’s under that cover-up.

Spending your present chasing the past will destroy your future.

Though some are more vocal about it than others, rejection finds its way into every life.

When you are truly loved, you should never feel desperate, discarded, or feel that you have to approach someone while on-your-knees. If you are being made to feel like someone could take or leave you, drop it and walk away. It won’t be easy, but it’s better to be alone and at peace than to spend your days sweating in purgatory. Besides, anyone who treats you like this is either trying to get you to leave, deceive or hurt you.

We all have wisdom and insight to share.

We all also put our pants on one leg at a time. The fabric and cost of those pants won’t make you any better or worse than anyone else.

We are the ones who choose what we will put up with, walk away from, appreciate and welcome into our lives.

To be happy: Choose gratitude, integrity, honesty, compassion, kindness and love. To be miserable: Choose pride, envy, selfishness, ingratitude, manipulation and deceit. Simple.

Someone thinks you’re incredible and beautiful and have a hell of a lot to offer. They’re Right!

Your instincts are usually right on. Trust them.

You have everything you need inside of you. Go for everything you have ever wanted. You may not get it all, but you’ll certainly live a fuller and richer life…❤🙏
