"If being in a relationship never causes you any grief, consider that maybe while you might physically be 'in' the relationship; mentally and emotionally you may have 'checked out' of the relationship. Relationships take an active presence in order to actually 'be' relationships. You can't 'care' without caring and caring isn't just for sunny days."

"The next time you find yourself getting angry, ask yourself: Is this really something I want to give my time and energy to? Will doing so make any positive impact? If your answer is no, consider redirecting that anger-energy as soon as possible! Find something to do that will feed your soul, fuel your fire, passion and creativity. Find something that will bring something new and positive to this world."

Anger

"Thinking too much about the future, especially in terms of wants and desires, constricts us. First of all, it does little, if anything to achieve goals. Secondly, consider, that what you think you may want tomorrow may not actually be what you want tomorrow. You are ever-changing and constantly evolving. It's OK to want better for the future, but don't expect for the future. Just as introspection is very challenging, so is knowing what is in fact good or best for us and the path there. We may think we need to do things one way, when in fact, we may need to do them in a completely different way."

Memory

"Don't let fear, or doubt creep in. Instead, let hope creep in. Start believing in yourself. Open your mind and heart to the possibilities."

Hope

"It takes a lot of courage to be real and raw, to not hide or pretend, to reveal the real you, the true you. This life is yours, to live as you. Brave the courage."

Courage

"It's simple: What you put in, is what you get out."

Success

"You can, and you will. If you're going to carry any belief, carry one that empowers you. Believe in your unlimited potential."

Hope

"In everything you encounter in life you have a choice. Even if that choice is just in how you will react and move forward. The moment you become cognizant of your choices is the moment in which you also realize your own power. Choices equal power. You have the power to make things better for yourself. Even if it is just your mindset, which is actually a lot. Your perspective, your take on things, dictates your experience. Your quality of life is contingent on how you see things. Realizing that, is where the real power lies. You can make something from anything."

Choice

"You are not who you say you are but rather what you do. Look at what it is that you do. If you don't like what you see: decide what you would like to see instead. Make those changes. Realize your potential. Harness your power. Seize every opportunity and do what it is that allows you to be true to yourself. Don't deny yourself your path. Only you can decide. Only you have that power. Only you are living your life."

Confidence

"We all encounter things that we can't perhaps change and that's OK because surely there are many other things that we can."

Balance

"Worry about your own neck. Don't waste time worrying what others may or may not think. If someone is rude, if they disrespect you, recognize that this is an issue with them and not you. Don't let it change how you behave. Be the same kind, loving and compassionate person as always. Don't fuel the negativity. Always strive to carry peace in your heart, wherever you go. It will help to keep you in a positive frame of mind."
