Before you find out who you are, you have to figure out who you aren't.
Iyanla Vanzant
You are not being tested! You are being fortified! Remember, you cannot fail!
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.

The only thing that goes on in your life is what your allow to go on in your life
Iyanla Vanzant
You must be willing to give total unconditional love to everyone, under all circumstances. That means being willing to be totally responsible for what you do and how you do it.

Spirit is the key to everything we desire. It is our weather-proofing, our Teflon, our line of credit that assures if we just keep putting one foot in front of the other, one day there will be a miraculous payoff.
Iyanla Vanzant
As you move through the day, be aware of how you treat yourself. Be aware of what you do to and for yourself, because you set the standard for others. As you grow in your awareness of how you treat yourself, you will probably become aware of the example you have set for others. You may realize that the time has come to set a new example.

Forgiveness leads to a shift in perception. It transforms the hurt into healing.
Iyanla Vanzant
Life doesn't actually knock you down. It does, however, provide you with many opportunities to evaluate your standing in life: what you stand on, what you stand for, how you stand within yourself and for yourself.
Iyanla Vanzant
Gossip is when you have a malice of intent or mindless, third-party conversation to someone about someone, something you haven't said to that someone.
Iyanla Vanzant
Use your time, energy and talents to do the best you can right now. Spend no time wishing it were better
Iyanla Vanzant
Some of us pray demands. Some of us pray complaints. Some of us pray knowing, and some of us pray not knowing. But prayer is the attitude that you hold in your heart.
Iyanla Vanzant
You can accept or reject the way you are treated by other people. But until you heal the wounds of your past, you are going to bleed.
Iyanla Vanzant
When we pray, it opens our minds to the divine consciousness of God. Prayer opens your mind to answers that have always been present.
Iyanla Vanzant
You've got to be willing to lose everything to gain yourself.
Iyanla Vanzant
When we find ourselves in the same situation repeatedly as a result of our conditioned responses, we must stop and do a new thing. The situation may look different. The route we take there may be altogether different. The lesson we must learn does not change. Get honest! Pay attention! Change what you do to create a change for yourself!
Iyanla Vanzant
If you don't enjoy your life, sorrow, sadness, suffering, fear, shame and guilt will.
Iyanla Vanzant
If you're not willing to let your partner see your cellulite or know your biggest fears, then you aren't really ready to share yourself.
Iyanla Vanzant
It's about your heart and about your consciousness. It's not about length of time you pray. Some of the most powerful prayers I've ever heard come from children, who can barely speak.
