Life gives you an endless supply of do-overs.
Iyanla Vanzant
All things are lessons that God would have us learn.

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.
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
And perhaps you thought, Because I'm doing so much spiritual work, I'm only going to attract angels. No! The more spiritual work you do, the more darkness you attract. Because the light don't need more light. The darkness needs light! The light doesn't need more light.

Everyone has something that blocks us from the full experience and expression of our nobility.

You work for God Incorporated.

At your worst point, the quickest way to move through it is to be a contribution as opposed to focusing on your problems. If you focus on your problems and keep giving them attention, they're going to grow. If you ignore them and do something else - I don't mean act like they're not here - but do something meaningful, it helps you work through it.

I have learned the hard way to mind my business, without judging who people are and what they do. I am more troubled by the lack of space being provided for the truth to unfold. Humans cannot seem to wait for or honor the truth. Instead, we make it up based on who we believe people should or should not be.
Iyanla Vanzant
We set the standard of how we want to be treated. Our relationships are reflections of the relationships we have with ourselves.
Iyanla Vanzant
Many people want payback and to see others suffer. Forgiveness is the key to freedom. You can choose to be enslaved and burdened or you can choose to be free. It's a choice. Forgiveness is a state of being. So once you do it, it alters who you are and the way you can be in the world.

When you are in alignment with the desires of your heart, things have a way of working out.
Iyanla Vanzant
Some children do what they’re told to do some children do what they’re told not to do all children do what they’re parents have done.
Iyanla Vanzant
When was the last time you thanked you for always being there for you? Self appreciation soothes an aching soul.
Iyanla Vanzant
You are the only one who can do it like you do it. You are the best. You have what it takes. You have the power. When you put your mind to something, you get it done. So what are you waiting for?
Iyanla Vanzant
When someone entrusts their heart to you they are giving you a piece of their soul. You cannot treat the soul casually. You must protect, nurture and handle it with care.
Iyanla Vanzant
If you don't enjoy your life, sorrow, sadness, suffering, fear, shame and guilt will.
Iyanla Vanzant
When you refuse to pay attention to what life is saying to you, life will make its point very clear. Life wants us to be aware of ourselves so we can make the necessary adjustments in order to live more harmoniously.
