Forgiveness, quite frankly, is the most selfish thing you can do. Because it is the greatest thing you can do for yourself.

I love myself enough-not in a schmaltzy garbage sense, Hallmark stuff, I'm talking respect myself-I respect my life-force enough to no longer waste it.

Perfectionism is the fear of being criticized.

You don't need a wishbone, you need a backbone.

Become mindful that remaining in a conflict is a choice.

Forgive and call back the energy wasted on past events.

I prefer a kind of sweet, deep, rich prayer in which a person goes in and says, Take me down deep into the reason you gave me life. Take me down deep. It silences the chaos in me.
