To get over the past you first have to accept that the past is over. No matter how many times you revisit it, analyze it, regret it, or sweat it… it’s over. It can hurt you no more.

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

As we look to the new year, hold on to what is good. Let go of what is bad. It really is that simple.

You can love them, forgive them, want good things for them…but still move on without them.

Growth is painful. Change is painful.But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.

Don’t waste words on people who deserve your silence. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can say is nothing at all.

If you don’t love yourself you will always be chasing after people who don’t love you either.

Be good to people. You will be remembered more for your Kindness than any level of succes you could possibly attain

An amazing thing happens when you stop seeking approval and validation: You find it. People are naturally drawn like magnets to those who know who they are and cannot be shaken!

Find yourself first, like yourself first, love yourself first, and friendship, companionship, and love will naturally find you.

Pain doesn’t just show up in our lives for no reason. It’s a sign that something in our life needs to change.

When the day is over, let it go. Don’t dwell on what you could’ve or should’ve done. Tomorrow is another day and another chance.

To make a difference in someone’s life, you do not have to be, brilliant, rich, beautiful, of perfect. You just have to care.
