Loving yourself has nothing to do with being selfish, self-centered or self-engrossed. It means that you accept yourself for what you are. Loving yourself means that you accept responsibility for your own development, growth and happiness.

Until you make peace with your difficult memories, that pain will continue to bleed into your current and future experiences.

You're never healing the level you're on. You're always healing the level you came from. For example, you know things today that you didn't know in your first marriage.

Life gives you an endless supply of do-overs.

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

Your willingness to look at your darkness is what empowers you to change

When someone entrusts their heart to you they are giving you a piece of their soul. You cannot treat the soul casually. You must protect, nurture and handle it with care.
