Don’t pour a lifetime of effort into a seasonal relationship. Not everyone from the pilot belongs in the finale.

If there is a particular person in your life that is repeatedly choosing not to honor you and is causing you more sadness or pain than they are joy – it might be time to release that friendship back to God and trust that it is not where you belong.

Be a bit of a challenge; not because you’re playing games but because you realize you’re worth the extra effort.

The right one for you will move mountains to be with you – he won’t hide behind them.

True strength is knowing that you don’t have to be strong every single second of the day.

When something or someone is no longer bringing you up, but pulling you down – it’s time to let go. When something or someone is no longer adding to your life, but subtracting from it – it’s time to let go.

No matter how attractive a person’s potential may be, you have to date their reality.

No matter how much you stress or obsess about the past or future, you can’t change either one. In the present is where your power lies.

I would rather be alone with dignity than in a relationship that requires me to sacrifice my self respect.

You will never gain anyone’s approval by begging for it. When you stand confident in your own worth, respect follows.
