The worst bullies you will ever encounter in your life are your own thoughts.
Your future begins with your next thought.
A better life is waiting for you to show up.
If resisting has failed and frustrated you, try to accept what is. As hard as it is to believe, acceptance can open different opportunities for change than resistance.
It is never too late to love yourself again.
You are the observer who watches your emotions as they push, pull and stretch you. The beauty inside of you is unmovable.
Your deepest and most truthful self does not care about trends, times, struggles, losses or worries. Your deepest self is free from the world's petty, made-up demands, judgements and expectations. You love yourself and you are happy, and what you perceive as self-loathing and misery are really outside of you.
Quit trying so hard and sit quietly with yourself and you will see that there are no demands within you. Only your surface is disturbed; in your deepness there is stillness and total tranquillity.
Only your surface feels empty and longing; in your depths there is a firm weight of fullness.
Beneath your burdensome regrets and who you think you are through the lens of past mistakes, there is someone beautiful who wants to emerge.
You are not your mistakes and your mistakes are not you.
You are so much more than your mistakes.
Allow your truth to emerge.
Your truth cannot emerge buried under a mountain of guilt and regret.
Your past is like a bag of bricks; set it down and walk away.
Quit collecting every painful word, memory and mistake.
Collect hope.
Hope is lighter.
