Failure to succeed at something isn't devastating, it's information. Failure isn't bad as long as you a, don't think of yourself as a failure, and b, don't let it stop you from moving forward.

Your Story
Your story is important. Your story is valid, and valuable. Your story matters. But the person who is most affected by your story, is yourself. More importantly is how you tell your story to yourself. Your life is shaped by it. And, above all, it should be remembered that it is just a story. It … Continue reading Your Story
Love, sweet Love
When you look at yourself in the mirror, do you pick yourself apart, pointing out all of the flaws you can find, or do you look with loving eyes at someone you adore? Either way, you will feel it.

Believe in Yourself
Believe that you are enough. There's no other way to do it. You need to believe it. I love Wayne Dyer. I love all of his books and writings.

Mistakes
If you've made a mistake, then congratulations! You've now, (hopefully) learned a valuable lesson. And so, you don't need to keep reliving it in your mind, in all its cringe-worthy detail.

True Colors
I read this quote that says, If someone shows you their true colors, don't try and repaint them. This hit home for me, because I've made the mistake of trying to "fix" people in a misguided attempt at helping. I've also confused the idea of "seeing the best in everyone" to mean that I can … Continue reading True Colors
You are enough
You are enough. I don't know if you realize that or not. I think most people don't. I think that's why we believe we have to buy things to impress others, hoping to fill an emptiness inside. Why we have hoarded so many things, that renting storage units is a major industry. Why we all … Continue reading You are enough
