You are the light of the world. You are an instrument of the Divine. You are the greatest miracle in the world. Life is graced by your presence.
Iyanla VanzantWe think we have to do something to be grateful or something has to be done in order for us to be grateful, when gratitude is a state of being.
Iyanla VanzantMany people want payback and to see others suffer. Forgiveness is the key to freedom. You can choose to be enslaved and burdened or you can choose to be free. It's a choice. Forgiveness is a state of being. So once you do it, it alters who you are and the way you can be in the world.
Iyanla VanzantIt takes a lot more courage to let something go than it does to hang on to it, trying to make it better. Letting go doesn't mean ignoring a situation. Letting go means accepting what is, exactly as it is, without fear, resistance, or a struggle for control.
Iyanla VanzantYour greatest adversary is also your greatest teacher. Like it or not, it is the job of certain people to bring out the worst in you. What they trigger is already in you. They are here to reveal the sore, tender wounded places in your heart and mind, and they are providing you with a wonderful and divine opportunity for healing.
