1. "You are not the mistakes you have made."

You are human, so you’ve probably screwed up. Probably so much that at times you can’t stand to be around yourself. You’ve hurt people you love. You’ve hurt strangers. You’ve hurt yourself. You’ve done things that make you question, Is this me? Is this actually who I am? Am I this bad of a person? No, you’re not. Make changes where changes need to be made and move forward.

2. "Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.”

In life, we are crippled by so many fears. The fear of not being good enough, the fear of not fitting in, the fear of failure, etc. When we allow this fear to control our lives, we are giving away a part of ourselves. Everyone has the ability to be fearless, no matter the realities they face. This can mean fearlessly pursuing your dreams or fearlessly living your faith. Just live fearlessly.

3. “Stop looking for happiness in the same place you lost it.”

The art of letting go: it's definitely a tough skill to master. Stop looking for happiness in the same place you lost it, there is nothing left but tears and heartbreak. Change isn’t always a bad thing.

4. "You can't change someone who doesn't see an issue in their actions.

Bottom line is, you can’t change someone who doesn’t want to be changed. You can offer advice but it isn’t guaranteed that they will take it. Do your part and move on from the situation.

5. “Are you really happy or just really comfortable?”

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be comfortable. But are you really happy? Is that passion there that you want? Change is a crucial part of the growing process.

6. "Be willing to walk alone. Many who started with you won’t finish with you.”

It’s not saying you should walk alone but that sometimes you have to in order to get the results you’re looking for.

7. "Worry won’t change tomorrow.”

Your car just broke down! OH NO! You don’t get paid until Friday! When a problem arises, you can sit there and cry or you can take action and resolve the issue at hand. When instant problems arise, do what you can and try not to stress over what you can’t.

8. "Train your mind to see a little good in everything.”

Not everything is as bad as it seems. Finding what’s good in a bad situation can change how you view the issue entirely.

9. "What consumes your mind, controls your life.”

Never let an issue control your life. Mad at your best friend? Talk to them. Didn’t pay your bill? Pay it. Be the best possible version of you that you can be.

10. "If we were meant to stay in one place, we would have roots instead of feet."

Be wanderlust and explore. We only get one life, live it.

11. "Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.”

Never be ashamed to ask for a helpful hand. People often let their pride get in the way of what matters. Don’t be that person.

12. "It feels good to be lost in the right direction.”

Not everyone is going to support your plan and what you do. Maybe you don't even have a plan and maybe that's the issue to others. Who cares. Don’t be afraid to get a little lost in the journey.

13. "Say it before you run out of time. Say it before it's too late. Say what you're feeling. Waiting is a mistake."

Sometimes we think “sticking it out” is what will make everybody else happy. Sometimes we don’t say what we truly feel because we’re scared of the repercussions that come along with it. Sometimes we’re only given a single chance to say what we really want to say.

14. "Stop giving CPR to dead situations.”

You can’t hop into a time machine and change the past. As Macbeth would have said, “What’s done is done.”

15. "It is what it is."

Sometimes it’s just that simple. It is what it is. There are some situations that are just unavoidable but that doesn’t mean you can’t learn from the experience.

16. "It is ok to live a life that others do not understand.”

Not everyone is going to understand you and your plan and that’s ok. Just keep doing you and the rest is history.

17. "Some people create their own storms and then get mad when it rains."

Avoid toxic people or take them at face value. Stay clear of the drama and slay the day.
