“What’s special is that people were willing. That there was demand and that you were able to fill it with the supply. That people are willing in this moment to take a deeper look and be better. That is what is amazing.”
–Iyanla Vanzant on Oprah Lifeclass webcast
“Opinions are just people’s observations of you.
It’s up to you to give them meaning.”
–Guest on the Oprah show
I’m learning to not let other people’s unkind words affect me as much. I try to practice this when other’s people’s comments rub me the wrong way.
“Forgiveness is letting go of the past we thought we wanted. Accept that it has happened to you and now what do I about it? Acceptance is accepting what has happened to you, not accepting that it was okay. Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could be any different…Letting go so that the past does not hold you prisoner, does not hold you hostage.”
