Forgive yourself for believing things about yourself that are not true. Forgive yourself for believing that you were anything other than a child of God. Then, after forgiving yourself for believing the things you were told, forgive the people who told you. Forgive them not for what they said or did. Forgive them because they did not know any better.
Iyanla VanzantEveryone is always looking for their beloved. Well, why can't you be your own beloved? Fall in love with yourself.
Iyanla VanzantEvery day is your day if you claim it. If you wait for somebody else to make it for you, you're going to be disappointed.
Iyanla VanzantYou are the only one who can do it like you do it. You are the best. You have what it takes. You have the power. When you put your mind to something, you get it done. So what are you waiting for?
Iyanla VanzantYour job, work, life assignment must be the spark that fuels your fire. It must be a passion that you pursue. You must want it enough to do it for free. You must be willing to stick with it, taking the ups and downs, giving it all that you are for as long as you can! Youโve got to taste it, smell it, know it whether you are awake or asleep. If you do not have a lustful passion for your work, you really need to find something else to do.
Iyanla VanzantLove is not all that is required in a relationship. It needs understanding, openness, kidness, patience, long-suffering
Iyanla VanzantChanging your life does not always mean that you stop doing certain things. It may mean that you start doing certain other things. What you really want to do is nurture the attitude that you are open to learning more about yourself. Accepting more about yourself. This is what will inspire you to do something new.
