No matter what is going on in your life today, remember, it is only preparation. People come and go; situations rise and fall; it's all preparation for better things. You must stretch, reach, grow into your goodness. Without the preparation we receive through adversity, disappointment, confusion, or pain, we could not appreciate the goodness when it arrives.

Life doesn't actually knock you down. It does, however, provide you with many opportunities to evaluate your standing in life: what you stand on, what you stand for, how you stand within yourself and for yourself.

Be willing to share all of who you are. So many of us want a partner, but we're not willing to show all of us.

Know thyself. Accept thyself. Love thyself. No matter what you have done, where you have been, know, accept, and love who you are.

Life gives you an endless supply of do-overs.

When you're the strong one, people don't give you permission to hurt.

When we pray, it opens our minds to the divine consciousness of God. Prayer opens your mind to answers that have always been present.
