It’s a matter of making a decision that ‘This is what will be,’ not ‘I want to or I’m going to.’ This is what will happen and this is what will be.

If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.

Nobody can save you but yourself — And you’re worth saving. It’s a war not easily won but if anything is worth winning — this is it.

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

I really needed to see this today.

There’s a trick to the Graceful Exit. It begins with the vision to recognize when a job, a life stage, a relationship is over - and to let go. It means leaving what’s over without denying its validity or its past importance in our lives. It involves a sense of future, a belief that every exit line is an entry, that we are moving on rather than out.

Every time you take a step, even when you don’t want to… . When it hurts, when it means you rub chins with death, or even if it means dying, that’s good. Anything that moves ahead, wins. No chess game was ever won by the player who sat for a lifetime thinking over his next move.

theangrytherapist:

Today is a new day. That means I have new choices. That means today doesn’t have to be like yesterday. Or tomorrow. Today is it’s own space. I have the power to mold it instead of allowing it to mold me, and today I will exercise that muscle.
