Everybody does not have to like you. That is not their job. Liking you is not anyone's purpose in life except yours.
Iyanla VanzantI let go of the past and choose to accept every situation as being for me and not against me.
Iyanla VanzantDear God, Please untie the nots. All of the can nots, should nots, may nots and have nots. Please erase from my mind the thoughts that I am not good enough.
Iyanla VanzantAlways remember who you are. Know that you are never required to apologize to anyone for being yourself.
Iyanla VanzantDon't get hung up on the hard times, the challenges. Tell your story by highlighting the victories. Because it's your victories that will inspire, motivate, encourage other people to live their stories in grander ways.
Iyanla VanzantThe highest form of praise you can offer to yourself, to God and to the world is to spend time each day expressing gratitude. It says to God that you are aware and appreciative of grace. It says to life that you are acknowledging its awesome presence in you. It says to yourself that you are worth the time it takes to be healed. Time spent in silence, contemplation and gratitude is time spent in devotion to a higher calling and a more loving state of being.
