You cannot get to where you are going until you have learned all there is to learn about where you are.

Everyone is always looking for their beloved. Well, why can't you be your own beloved? Fall in love with yourself.

You can accept or reject the way you are treated by other people, but until you heal the wounds of your past, you will continue to bleed. You can bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol, with drugs, with work, with cigarettes, with sex, but eventually, it will all ooze through and stain your life. You must find the strength to open the wounds, stick your hands inside, pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past, the memories, and make peace with them.

What looks like a failure teaches us what not to do, what does not work. We have lessons to learn from our experiences.

Our beliefs are what create our experiences. As we change our beliefs, we alter our perception, our version of reality.

It’s self-full to be first, to be as good as possible to you. To take care of you, keep you whole and healthy. That doesn’t mean you disregard everything and everyone. But you want to come with your cup full. You know: ‘My cup runneth over.’ What comes out of the cup is for y’all. What’s in the cup is mine. But I’ve got to keep my cup full.
