More quotes by Iyanla Vanzant
Thinking is the problem. Thinking is hazardous to your progress in life. Don't think - feel.
Iyanla Vanzant
To me, freedom means having the power, the inherent right, the capacity and the ability to make choices that honour who I am.
Iyanla Vanzant
Authenticity means that you must do what you do the way you do it and allow everyone else the same courtesy.
Iyanla Vanzant
Prayer is asking for rain. Faith is carrying an umbrella. Faith is the inner sense of knowing that with divine order working on your side, all things will come together for your good. Faith is knowing that there is a divine plan and purpose for everything in life
Iyanla Vanzant
You cannot experience the fullness of your authentic self or life when you live to avoid hurt. You will never know the joy of love or the peaceful satisfaction of being loved if you hide from hurt.
Iyanla Vanzant
When we believe we are losing control, we grab on tight. When our greatest fear comes upon us, we clench our fist and teeth, close our eyes and hold on. We must learn how to let go. When the time comes for growth and change, we must have the courage and faith to let go. Whatever leaves my life makes room for something better.
Iyanla Vanzant
When you are open to receive what God is able to do for you, you stop doing. You learn how to Be still and know! You know that your good is on the way, according to God's nature and willingness to give. You also put your faith in the fact that God is always on time.
Iyanla Vanzant
All things are lessons that God would have us learn.
Iyanla Vanzant
In order to feel loved, be respected and stay connected, we humans have a tendency to lie. We lie about who we are, what we want, what we need, what we have done or will do. Perhaps 'lie' is too strong a word. Let me say that what we do is withhold the truth.
Iyanla Vanzant
Speak and live in simple sentences. Bring closure -- put a period to -- those experiences that you don't want to carry on forever and ever. Use commas in those places where you're still growing... and use exclamation points at the end of every lesson.
Iyanla Vanzant
At times I have long conversations with God. Sometimes I ask questions. I admit that there are also times when I let out my frustrations, fears, and anxieties in less than honorable ways. No matter what I pray about or how I pray about it, the result I always get is comfort.
Iyanla Vanzant
Forgiveness is not about the other person or what they did. Forgiveness is for YOU and about YOU.
Iyanla Vanzant
Everyone has a purpose because God is a purposeful God.
Iyanla Vanzant
The process of life is ever unfolding, guiding you, pushing you, preparing you for the next part of the process. Difficult challenges, bad days, upset feelings, moments of confusion are part of life's process. Perhaps these things are there to keep us alert, to make us stronger, or to test our resolve to keep moving forward.
Iyanla Vanzant
I learned that telling the truth was a big part of loving yourself.
Iyanla Vanzant
Everything is just as it needs to be. And if we would forgive, our minds and hearts would open and we could see another possibility.
Iyanla Vanzant
Love is what you are, not what you give or get!
Iyanla Vanzant
Know thyself. Accept thyself. Love thyself. No matter what you have done, where you have been, know, accept, and love who you are.
Iyanla Vanzant
Instead of running from what you don't want, walk with commitment toward what you desire. Focus on where you are going rather than being obsessed with where you have been.
Iyanla Vanzant
I took my kids everywhere. I didn't have money for child care, so I took them to college with me and they sat in the hallway.
