Each precious moment of your life in which you are frozen with fear is a moment when you are not being all you can be. In the end, that hurts more than anything. Succeeding or failing does not determine if we are surviving or living. Rather it is in our ability to reach beyond our present self-imposed definition of who we are, and to risk becoming more, that we are able to feel fully alive.

Forgiveness is not a one-time-only event. It is a process.

If you value yourself, you understand that you are a gift to anyone you meet.

Being willing makes you able.

Let go of what you think life should be so you can experience the life you have.

When your commitment is to be loving regardless of the circumstances, there is no room for harsh words. You assert yourself not from a desire to control but from a desire to stand for who you are.

Where you begin doesn't matter. Your willingness to start is what counts.
