Don't hold yourself back because you're afraid or because you've been hurt...acknowle dge your fear, accept it, and walk through it with confidence.

When you continue to give without receiving, the only thing you are proving is that you know how to be taken advantage of.

You are not being tested! You are being fortified! Remember, you cannot fail!

When you give to others to the degree that you sacrifice yourself, you make the other person a thief.

When we want to move beyond the pain, when we want to feel better, when we are ready to move beyond where we are, emotionally and spiritually, we must forgive.

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.

If you're not willing to let your partner see your cellulite or know your biggest fears, then you aren't really ready to share yourself.
