"It's easy to talk big, but the important thing is whether or not you clean up the shit."
"It's okay to be honest about not knowing rather than spreading falsehood. While it is often said that honesty is the best policy, silence is the second best policy."
"The real trouble is that 'kindness' is a quality fatally easy to attribute to ourselves on quite inadequate grounds. Everyone feels benevolent if nothing happens to be annoying him at the moment. Thus a man easily comes to console himself for all his other vices by a conviction that 'his heart's in the right place' and 'he wouldn't hurt a fly,' though in fact he has never made the slightest sacrifice for a fellow creature. We think we are kind when we are only happy: it is not so easy, on the same grounds, to imagine oneself temperate, chaste, or humble."
"When truth and honesty is absent in the nation, it relates not just to the politicians."

"The problem with depicting abusers as full-time monsters is that when a person is actually experiencing abuse in their own life, they'll think 'oh but he's the sweetest guy most of the time so he can't be an abuser ' or 'but he's not ALWAYS horrible, he's usually amazing, so he's not an abuser', and they'll make the mistake of thinking they mustn't really be being abused when they actually are."
"The difference between a conventional counsellor and an empowerment counsellor is that a conventional therapist will allow you to dwell in your pit of misery for months, years and possibly even decades; whereas an empowerment counsellor will challenge you to recognise that your past pains and seemingly negative experiences are the very key to accessing your greatest self."

"Practise really seeing yourself in the mirror. This is NOT about examining yourself. This is about you looking beyond your external image to connect with your soul. Look upon yourself with complete appreciation and acceptance. You are so beautiful."
"I don't believe in failure. Whenever you take action and do something, irrespective of the outcome, you have succeeded by simply doing and trying. The universe rewards action. So believe in yourself and do whatever it is you want to do."
"Living your life through negative feelings and memories is doing yourself a dishonour.If you want to change you need to be willing to leave your past wounds behind you. -If you wish to remain stuck in your attachment to past pains then dare to ask yourself exactly why you feel the need to define yourself by your past traumas or tragedies."
"We need feminism because degrading phrases like 'walk of shame' are commonplace in our social vocabulary, yet these are only applied to women; whereas men in the same situation are praised by their peers and seen as nothing more than ' a guy who got lucky', by the rest of society."
"There is nothing shameful about loving yourself. The shame is in NOT loving the unique and brilliant individual that you are."
