The beloved is one who nurtures you, trusts you, supports you, encourages you, loves you without conditions. That's you.
Iyanla Vanzant
Faith without challenge is nothing.
Iyanla Vanzant
I am not seeking anything but service to my creator. I do not need a house, I do not need a car, I do not need any of that, but to be present with each guest that sits across from me, and I am committed to a bigger thing than me, which is the vision of own, because own is going to outlive all of us.

Everybody does not have to like you. That is not their job. Liking you is not anyone's purpose in life except yours.

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 think as men begin to see things that address them, they will feel that they can relate. They can't relate to 'Basketball Wives,' 'Housewives of Atlanta.' I am not judging or criticizing those shows at all what I am saying is the perspective is not necessarily the male perspective. 'Iyanla: Fix My Life' is inclusive of everyone.
Iyanla Vanzant
Begin within. If it shows up in your life, it's coming to tell you something about you that you're acting like you don't know. Something about yourself, or your relationship with God.
Iyanla Vanzant
Speak and live in simple sentences. Bring closure -- put a period to -- those experiences that you don't want to carry on forever and ever. Use commas in those places where you're still growing... and use exclamation points at the end of every lesson.
Iyanla Vanzant
Tell the truth about who you are, what you feel, what you want, what you're up to. Tell the truth about that first to yourself and then to anybody else that'll listen.
Iyanla Vanzant
Forgiveness leads to a shift in perception. It transforms the hurt into healing.
Iyanla Vanzant
Parents are teachers, guides, leaders, protectors and providers for their children.
Iyanla Vanzant
Be aware that who you are and what you have to offer can be a beacon to some lost soul.
Iyanla Vanzant
Education does not take place when you learn something you did not know before. Education is your ability to use what you have learned to be better today than you were yesterday.
Iyanla Vanzant
I am the one I have been looking for.
Iyanla Vanzant
You are not being tested! You are being fortified! Remember, you cannot fail!
