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.

Each moment is a moment of choice and your commitments keep you true to yourself, choice by choice.

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.

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

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?

The first is based in fear, the second in fearlessness.

Fear is an affirmation of your growth.
