More quotes by Iyanla Vanzant
Your purpose gave birth to you. It has molded and shaped who you are and what you do. Your purpose is the reason you live and breathe. Your purpose guides your heart, hands, and head. It is alive in you. It is there, within, that you must seek to know it and live it.

Planning is the only way to keep yourself on track. Plan your moments to be joyous. Plan your days to be filled with peace. Plan your life to be an experience of growth. When you know where you are going, the universe will clear a path for you.
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
We set the standard of how we want to be treated. Our relationships are reflections of the relationships we have with ourselves.
Iyanla Vanzant
We think we have to do something to be grateful or something has to be done in order for us to be grateful, when gratitude is a state of being.
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.

Create what you want as opposed to being stuck in what you didn't have.
Iyanla Vanzant
At every single moment, we are given the opportunity to choose our future. What we do today will determine what we face next week, next month, or next year. It is at the moment of a particular occurrence that we are called upon to make a choice: Will I do it the way I've always done it, or will I do it a different way.
Iyanla Vanzant
When the time comes for you to make a change or to grow, the universe will make you so uncomfortable you will eventually have no choice.
Iyanla Vanzant
Thinking is the problem. Thinking is hazardous to your progress in life. Don't think - feel.
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
Until you are willing to accept total and complete responsibility for every aspect of your life, your life will keep sending you experiences designed to get your attention.
Iyanla Vanzant
When you don't show up as who you are, people fall in love with who you're not. Then when they find out who you are, that's when they leave.
Iyanla Vanzant
Everybody does not have to like you. That is not their job. Liking you is not anyone's purpose in life except yours.
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
It is not what you hear, it is where you listen from within yourself that gives meaning to the message.
Iyanla Vanzant
Spiritual consciousness does not make your problems go away it does, however, help you view them from a different vantage point.
Iyanla Vanzant
Never underestimate the ruthlessness of the ego to keep you in a state of suffering in which you voluntarily participate.
Iyanla Vanzant
I am the one I have been looking for.
Iyanla Vanzant
Forgive everybody for everything. Just forgive and start - most of us can't start with ourselves. We have to forgive the people we think did things to us. So that's fine. Start there - wherever. Start with the dog who peed on the rug. I don't care where you start, just do it.
