Compassion
"Be clear. Be authentic. Have boundaries. Check your vision. Do what matters to you. And know what you value."
- Iyanla Vanzant
Self-awareness
"I have learned the hard way to mind my business, without judging who people are and what they do. I am more troubled by the lack of space being provided for the truth to unfold. Humans cannot seem to wait for or honor the truth. Instead, we make it up based on who we believe people should or should not be."
- Iyanla Vanzant
Self-awareness
"Comparison is an act of violence against the self."
- Iyanla Vanzant
Happiness
"I gave myself permission to feel and experience all of my emotions. In order to do that, I had to stop being afraid to feel. In order to do that, I taught myself to believe that no matter what I felt or what happened when I felt it, I would be okay."
- Iyanla Vanzant
Courage
"We cannot control who we fall in love with, but we can choose how we treat them."
- Beauty and the Beast
Relationships
"I think it takes a strong man to be in a relationship with a strong woman. A lot of people hear the word ‘diva’ and think of it as a negative. I see it as a positive. I want somebody who knows what they want out of life and isn’t afraid to show it."
- Nick Cannon
Relationships
"It’s not what’s under the tree that matters, it’s who’s gathered around it."
Relationships
"As we struggle with shopping lists and invitations, compounded by December’s bad weather, it is good to be reminded that there are people in our lives who are worth this aggravation, and people to whom we are worth the same."
- Donald E. Westlake
Relationships
"A man who correctly guesses a woman’s age may be smart, but he’s not very bright."
