What do you do when it seems as if people want to stay in their pain. They have a story to tell and they tell you every chance they get. Well, believe it or not, they may like where they are. Our job is to leave them there. You can point the way out of pain, but you cannot force them to get out. You can support the move beyond their limitations, but you cannot make the move for them.

Iyanla VanzantGratitude is like a magnet; the more grateful you are, the more you will receive to be grateful for.
Iyanla VanzantKnow thyself. Accept thyself. Love thyself. No matter what you have done, where you have been, know, accept, and love who you are.
Iyanla VanzantIf you should encounter angry or unkind actions today, take a deep breath, reach deep within and greet the lack of love with love.
Iyanla VanzantWhen we believe we are losing control, we grab on tight. When our greatest fear comes upon us, we clench our fist and teeth, close our eyes and hold on. We must learn how to let go. When the time comes for growth and change, we must have the courage and faith to let go. Whatever leaves my life makes room for something better.
