“The obstacles in our path are not blocking us-they are redirecting us. Their purpose is not to interfere with our happiness; it is to point us toward new routes to our happiness, new possibilities, new doorways.”

“It is not our difficulties or our suffering alone that makes us wise. It is what we add to them--patience, perseverance, compassion, courage, love. From this combination, our priceless pearls of wisdom grow.”

“I believe tears are holy, because they show us that the ice of our heart is melting.”

“No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change”

“The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart, the less capable you are of loving in the present.”

“Living with integrity means: Not settling for less than what you know you deserve in your relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speaking your truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values. Making choices based on what you believe, and not what others believe.”

“The journey in between what you once were and who you are now becoming is where the dance of life takes place.”
