What keeps us from achieving our heart's desires is not anything outside of us, it's the conflict inside.
Iyanla VanzantI try not to set myself up as different or as a celebrity or special. I have a husband that can get on my nerves. I have kids that test my patience. I've got a cat I can't keep off the sofa. It's real. On a bad day, I'm reading 'Acts of Faith.'.
Iyanla VanzantYou have set standards for how you want to be treated and what you expect from yourself and for yourself.
Iyanla VanzantLove is not all that is required in a relationship. It needs understanding, openness, kidness, patience, long-suffering
Iyanla VanzantThere are no guarantees in life, but it is a sure thing that you will get back what you give. If you give 100 percent of your attention, energy, and time to a thing, you will get exactly that back. Make sure you give all that you have to make sure you will get all that you need.
Iyanla VanzantWe live in a society where we're not taught how to deal with our weaknesses and frailties as human beings. We're not taught how to speak to our difficulties and challenges. We're taught the Pythagorean theorem and chemistry and biology and history. We're not taught anger management. We're not taught dissolution of fear and how to process shame and guilt. I've never in my life ever used the Pythagorean theorem!
