When you allow a person's words to upset you, you're giving away your power.

Instead of being ashamed of what you've been through, be proud of what you have overcome!

At this very moment, you may be saying to yourself that you have any number of admirable qualities. You are a loyal friend, a caring person, someone who is smart, dependable, fun to be around. That's wonderful, and I'm happy for you, but let me ask you this: are you being any of those things to yourself?

Anger is nothing more than an outward expression of hurt, fear and frustration

Like an enemy I knew as intimately as any friend, I came to know the nagging, constant emptiness of the incongruent life. I ignored myself and lived for people, purposes, and goals that weren't my own. I betrayed who I was and instead accepted a fictional substitute that was defined from the outside in.

We are proud to have a platform through the Dr Phil show and the Dr. Phil Foundation to offer children the voice they need to meet their goals in having a better life.

I think you're running into a lot of trouble if your idea of foreplay is, 'Brace yourself honey, here I come!'
