If I treat you like YOU treat you, you’d get an order of protection against me. It’s not OK for you to do violence to you, either.

Self love is the highest law of preservation.

People who hate themselves have no choice but to destroy themselves, because hatred is an emotional cancer that eats away your soul.

Self love is the FIRST law of preservation.

If you don’t value you, there’s no way you can value me, so you won’t care if you destroy us both.

Self love is the beginning of civilization.

 All points of view have value.

Just because people are giving great advice doesn’t mean some or all of it applies to your situation and/or circumstances.

Although people usually mean well, be wise in the counsel you keep and the advice from others that you apply in your life. Discern for yourself what you can use, and tuck the rest away for another time.

When we turn men into gods and then find out they’re mere mortals, why is it that we blame them for our own disillusionment?

Be careful who you place on a pedestal. When they tumble off, it’s usually your heart on which they fall.

A second guess and a second chance aren’t the same thing.

When you second guess, you’ve never given the first choice a try.

Don’t get the two confused when you’re dealing with people.

Most often the issue isn’t narrowly defined as the thing to which we think is the issue.

Look at/for the bigger picture.

When speaking of intimate relationships, we know we must not treat the next person in our life poorly because of what the previous person put us through, so why do we carry past hurts and slights into a new relationship?

It’s simple: unspoken and/or unnoticed regret.

We regret that we didn’t act differently in the previous relationship. We regret we didn’t say or do something(s) that may have made it work the way we wanted it to work. So what do we do in the next relationship?

We treat the next person the way we believe we should have treated the previous person.

The problem is that what you think would have worked to save the previous relationship isn’t going to work in this new relationship, because now you’re dealing with someone else.

With each relationship that doesn’t turn out the way we want, we add more unspoken and/or unnoticed regrets, and then that’s just one or two more things to carry into the next new relationship.

Think about it.

Don’t get it twisted. Happiness isn’t the ultimate goal.

Happiness is just a pit stop on the road to authentic joy.

Happiness is a feeling, an emotion, that can go as quickly as it comes.

Joy is an inner peace that no one and nothing can touch.

Joy is the perfect peace that happiness only wishes it could be.
