It’s the small habits. How you spend your mornings. How you talk to yourself. What you read and what you watch. Who you share your energy with. Who has access to you. That will change your life.

Someone once asked me how I hold my head up so high after all I’ve been through. I said it’s because no matter what, I am a survivor, not a victim.

Honor the friendships that allow you to pick up from where you last left off, regardless of how long it’s been since you connected. The friendships that survive hiatuses, silences and space, those are the connections that never die.

Sometimes you just need to hear how much you mean to someone.

I am not impressed by money, status, or job title. I’m impressed by the way you treat other human beings.

Don’t wait til you reach your goal to be proud of yourself. Be proud of every step you take.

You will never forget a person who came to you with a torch in the dark.

When someone comes looking for the old you, pulling triggers, but cannot find you, that’s healing.

When a child can’t calm down they need connection and comfort, not criticism and control.

Some people could be given an entire field of roses and only see the thorns in it. Others could be given a single weed and only see the wildflower in it. Perception is a key component to gratitude. And gratitude a key component to joy.

The biggest lie we’re told is ‘Be with someone who makes you happy.’ The truth is, happiness is something you create on your own. Be with someone who adds to it.

You can’t give your life more time, so give the time you have left more life.

Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.

You’re not too sensitive. You’re not overreacting. If it hurts you, it hurts you.

Sometimes we need someone to simply be there, not to fix anything or do anything in particular, but just to let us feel we are supported and cared about.

Be cautious of connections that feel like home if home wasn’t always a safe place for you.

You are being presented with two choices: evolve or repeat.

When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment it grows in, not the flower.

If you made a mistake, apologize. If you are thankful, say it. If you are confused, ask questions. If you learn something, teach it. If you are stuck, ask for help. If you are wrong, admit it. If you can unselfishly give, give. If you love someone, tell them, now.

You’re right, I’m more than a little weird and a bit awkward. No, I don’t fit in and most people don’t understand me. But at least I’m being real and I think the world needs more people who are brave enough to be real.
