Have you doubted your progress, regretted your choices, put yourself down? Remember that you are doing just fine. Remind yourself right now that no matter what it looks like, you are doing the best you can. And getting better. Encourage yourself, support yourself, and celebrate every little thing about yourself.

In speaking the truth of your experience to another, it will serve you well to realize that how they choose to respond is not your responsibility.

All relationships have the same basic components: people, needs, and expectations.

I had to stop traveling alone because I missed so many planes. When somebody runs up to you in the airport and begins to tell you their life story, you can't say, 'Excuse me, boo,' as they're weeping on your bosom.

The key to success is not what you do, it is how you feel about what you are doing.

You have a right to say no. Most of us have very weak and flaccid 'no' muscles. We feel guilty for saying no. We get ostracized and challenged for saying no, so we forget it's our choice. Your 'no' muscle has to be built up to get to a place where you can say, 'I don't care if that's what you want. I don't want that. No.'

If you are afraid to take a chance, take one anyway. What you don't do can create the same regrets as the mistakes you make.
