Everything you have done and been through is valuable and important. In order to be who you are, to know what you know, to be where you are in this moment, you needed to go through what you went through.

I now realize that just because you can take a punch does not mean you must stand in front of a fist, particularly not when the fist is your own.

Truth is love's mother, and we all know it is not wise to lie to anyone's mother.

Embrace the truth. Speak the truth. Be the truth. When we welcome the truth, we live our lives like it's golden.

Trust is not about being comfortable. It is about being willing to move beyond your comfort zone when there is absolutely no evidence you will be supported. Think of it this way. Trust is based on your ability to stand your ground and rely on your own abilities, knowing that no matter what happens, you will be better off than you were in the beginning.

Release and detach from every person, every circumstance, every condition, and every situation that no longer serves a divine purpose in your life. All things have a season, and all seasons must come to an end. Choose a new season, filled with purposeful thoughts and activities.
