Take ownership of your actions, your thoughts, and your feelings. – Self-responsibility!
Love fiercely, even if you have been hurt before, but do not ignore the toxic red flags.
Heal yourself. Do not expect others will or can do it for you. Trust me it will be worth it.
Pay attention to you. Do not run, avoid, or numb. Live through it…feel, experience the emotion.
Don’t compare yourself to others.
Forgive yourself.
Love and respect yourself, even if it seems like no one else does.
Be courageous. Don’t be afraid to risk and ask questions.
Don’t hold too much stalk in what others think of you. You do not need to win anyone’s approval to be worthy.
Let go of perfectionism. Perfectionism is nothing but unrealistic expectations from self or others that will rob the joy from your life. You don’t have to be perfect, just do the best you can in any given moment.
Have compassion, be kind, even when evil seems to be all around you.
Pray for peace and calm through the storm, not to take it away. The storm is a lesson. Reflect.
Despite what others and the world teaches you, vulnerability is NOT weakness. It is where true strength and courage are born. Vulnerability is what genuinely connects us to important others.
