“Lighten up on yourself. No one is perfect. Gently accept your humanness.”

“Accept no one's definition of your life, define yourself.”

“The first step to change,... is accepting your reality right now. Honoring your process. Compassionate self-awareness leads to change; harsh self-criticism only holds the pattern in place, creating a stubborn and defensive Basic Self. Be gentle with yourself as you would with a child. Be gentle but firm. Give yourself the space to grow. But remember that the timing is in god's hands, not yours. page~147”

“Accept yourself for what and who you are and you will be perfect within your own eyes. The opinions of others do not make your truths. There is always room for improvement but know what and who you truly are and all will be perfectly fine...”

“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself.”

“Struggle strengthens the human bond and lightens the burden of the human condition.”
