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
In love, there is a total acceptance of self, and a willingness to give of self without an expectation of receiving anything in return. When you love, you are not afraid to share the truth of who you are, and you accept the truth of others without judgment.
Iyanla Vanzant
It is not your duty or responsibility to change the minds of other people. The nature of their thinking is advanced or limited by their experience. In your presence, they have an opportunity to learn about you and, perhaps, to grow.

Life will let you get away with something for a while, but sooner or later, you will pay the price. Everything you do in life causes the effects that you experience. When you get the bill, be prepared to pay.

What is it that would make a creature as fierce, majestic and powerful as a lion is, subject itself to the intimidation of a man a whip and a chair? The lion has been taught to forget what it is.

The voice I had accepted as Divine Guidance was actually the voice of my ego leading me right into destruction.
Iyanla Vanzant
When you enter a new experience, all that requires healing rushes to the surface . . . You have to pause.
Iyanla Vanzant
Each day, focus your attention on what you want. Each day, take one step that will bring you closer to it. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! The key is to identify it, claim it for yourself, and believe that you are worthy to have it.
Iyanla Vanzant
When we want to move beyond the pain, when we want to feel better, when we are ready to move beyond where we are, emotionally and spiritually, we must forgive.
Iyanla Vanzant
When I say to you, sister-woman, 'You out of order', that isn't an attack on you. I know what I'm looking at. I'm looking at your life, and I see what's there.
Iyanla Vanzant
As we learn to see each other through our spiritual eyes, the physical differences will cease to matter.
Iyanla Vanzant
Never underestimate the ruthlessness of the ego to keep you in a state of suffering in which you voluntarily participate.
Iyanla Vanzant
If you are afraid to take a chance, take one anyway. What you don't do can create the same regrets as the mistakes you make.
Iyanla Vanzant
Rather than beating yourself up for what you are not doing, appreciate and celebrate the things you are doing. When you shift your focus away from what you do not want, you can create a vision for what you do. Don't fight with yourself - focus on what you do, can do, choose to do, are ready to do.
Iyanla Vanzant
Change doesn't have to be hard, and healing doesn't have to hurt. Surely by now you know that every thing happens for a reason! There is something better awaiting you on the other side of this.
