Purpose directs passion and passion ignites purpose.

The words you say to yourself create your self image.

Forgiveness ... is a willingness to get over what you think should have happened and an acceptance of the reality of what actually happened.

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.

You don't have to earn or deserve love. You are love. Loving is never about how others treat you. It is always about how you are treating yourself.

Accepting what others see as your strengths is crucial to your continued growth. Compliments are a gift. They are an opportunity for you and another person to connect in a powerful, positive way. How did you handle the last compliment directed at you? Did you accept it?

Caring what others think about us is normal. The desire to belong is basic to human nature. But in order to feel like you truly belong, you must accept yourself for who you are. This is critical to Fearless Living.
