Every thought has the potential to create something powerful if we hold on to it long enough until we believe it. We suffer when we hold on to thoughts that make us feel like victims. Those thoughts are not any more true than thoughts that make us feel good.

​When you’re needy and desperate you don’t attract what you want, you attract what you’re afraid of.
 
When you’re desperate and needy you are scared. You’re scared you won’t get what you want or that you will lose something you have. You are in a state of lack. Abundance is not attracted to a state of lack.

Thinking about what everyone else is doing and believing they are having more fun is robbing you of enjoying your life and discovering what brings you joy!

​If you think long enough about a painful memory, you will feel as if you’re reliving it in the moment.
 
If you think long enough about an exciting future, you will feel as if it’s happening now.

​There are so many situation in which we had no choice as children. We simply lived by the rules we learned and adopted them as truths. As children, we didn’t have a choice but to be around people who kept hurting us, but as adult we do. Staying in situations and with people who are hurtful is an old rule we no longer need to live by.

​You may never grow and change in someone else’s mind. People may not want to give up the opinion they have of you. In their mind, you may always remain a one-dimensional character.

First, you have to recognize that worrying is not productive or helpful. No amount of worrying can solve a problem. Worrying is a state of mind that produces anxiety and (plot twist) leads to move anxiety, not solutions. 

​Instead of burdening yourself guessing what someone may be thinking of feeling, just ask them. This goes the other way around. Don’t expect someone to know what your internal experience is unless you’ve told them. We all rely on assumptions to some degree, but many times what we think others are thinking are just our thoughts. The only way to truly know is to ask.

Say “yes” to invitations that require you to be brave even if you don’t feel ready. 

We don't fully create our future on our own. We are co-creators. There’s a part of our life that’s out of our hands. The part we have no control over. But we can take the part that’s in our hands and do the best we can with it.

Examining the past can help clarify many of our problems, but healing doesn't occur in the past. It occurs in the present. There is practically a mania these days for blaming the events of our childhood for our current despair. What the ego doesn't want us to see is that our pain doesn't come from the love we weren't given in the past, but from the love we ourselves aren't giving in the present.

We often organize our lives in ways that drain our energy and kill our creativity and zest for life.

Negative thoughts are massive energy suckers. They recruit your creativity in service of overthinking, solving problems that don't exist, or attempting to control people and circumstances you have no control over.

Empowering self-talk has to be an intentional practice before it becomes a habit. If you commit to lifting yourself up daily, it will become your internal voice.
 
We become good at things we do (practice) each day.
 

Every thought that enters your mind is just as a suggestion.
 
Throughout the day you will receive thousands of thoughts (suggestions), but you don’t have to take each one seriously.

​In your present you give thought to your future so that when you get to that future time, your future has been prepaved, or prepared, for you by you.
 
And so, much that you are experiencing today is as a result of your thoughts about today that you thought yesterday and the day before and the year before and the year before.

​Personal growth, whether it’s trough self-healing, coaching, or therapy is about unlearning what no longer supports you, returning to your own knowing, and becoming more of your true self.

"It’s not your job to tell yourself no. It’s not your job to deny yourself opportunities. It’s not your job to prevent your own progress. There are enough people in the world who will do those things for you."
​-James Clear

We grow and change by overcoming our fears, not by avoiding them. 

Think of all the firsts that were uncomfortable and scary at the beginning, but now they come as a second nature.

Every new obstacles can either become an excuse or a new goal. 

When working towards a particular goal or result, there is a great possibility that you will come across an unexpected obstacle.
