There comes a time in some relationships when no matter how sincere the attempt to reconcile the differences or how strong the wish to recreate a part of the past once shared, the struggle becomes so painful that nothing else is felt and the world and all its beauty only add to the discomfort by providing cruel contrast.

If we are the sum of everything that happens to us, to limit a person's experience is to limit their growth.

You are the only one who has to live your life.

Just imagine that you are the person you want to be.

You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be.

If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.

Once a person says, "This is who I really am, what I am all about, what I was really meant to do," it is easier to decide how to spend one's time.
