More quotes by Iyanla Vanzant
The beloved is one who nurtures you, trusts you, supports you, encourages you, loves you without conditions. That's you.
Iyanla Vanzant
You have a right to your thoughts and feelings. Your feelings are always valid.
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.
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.

If you want peace, be peace. If you want wealth, be wealth. Think it. Talk it. Prepare yourself to have it. Have faith enough to seek guidance and authority from within.

You've got to know what your 'thing' is, and you've got to call it a 'thing,' whether it's meanness, nastiness, un-forgiveness, arrogance, ego, resistance, rebelliousness or defiance. Everybody's got a 'thing,' and once you call your 'thing' a 'thing,' we can give it a place to be or dismiss it.
Iyanla Vanzant
We can think, speak, and bring the best possible outcome into existence by focusing on where we are going, not on where we think we are.
Iyanla Vanzant
Feminine power is silent, dark, mysterious, healing, nurturing. A woman can walk into a room and control it. She doesn't even have to open her mouth if she knows where her power is.
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
What looks like a failure teaches us what not to do, what does not work. We have lessons to learn from our experiences.
Iyanla Vanzant
Mistakes are lessons that you need to learn!

You work for God Incorporated.

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
You set the standards for how you will be treated. People will treat you the exact way you treat yourself. So be good to you. Take time for yourself. Rest. Play. Shower yourself with affection, support, and gifts.

I knew all of the childhood prayers I uttered on my knees at the side of my bed. Many years of Sunday-school attendance had etched certain Psalms and rote prayers into the fibers of my brain. However, somewhere deep inside of me, I had the secret belief that I did not know how to pray, and that frightened me.

As we learn to see each other through our spiritual eyes, the physical differences will cease to matter.
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
Love is what you are, not what you give or get!
Iyanla Vanzant
What a blessing that God allows a life to come through your body, and then allows you to place that body in a body bag and take it out. I had to say that there's a magnificent something that God has for me to do, to give me that level of completion. That level of experience. It's unspeakable.
Iyanla Vanzant
I am now willing to forgive myself . . . for believing I could offer something to others before I have offered it to myself.
