Quote

You're never healing the level you're on. You're always healing the level you came from. For example, you know things today that you didn't know in your first marriage.

When you gossip, it's self-hexing. Because when you do it, it comes back to you. Everything starts with the word. The word is demonstrating a condition of the mind. If it's in your mind and comes out of your mouth, it will be created.

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.

Authenticity means that you must do what you do the way you do it and allow everyone else the same courtesy.

When you are open to receive what God is able to do for you, you stop doing. You learn how to Be still and know! You know that your good is on the way, according to God's nature and willingness to give. You also put your faith in the fact that God is always on time.

Well the beauty of 'Iyanla: Fix My Life' is that men are in every show. To our surprise, some of the deepest healing demonstrations have been with the men - the sons, the fathers, the husbands - because they agree to participate with the wife or the daughter or whatever it is we are looking at, and it is there.

In the process of planning and having a wedding, I forgot there would actually be a marriage, a union of minds, bodies, souls, and issues that would come together as soon as the ceremony was over.

Instead of running from what you don't want, walk with commitment toward what you desire. Focus on where you are going rather than being obsessed with where you have been.

With all things in life, we do not get what we ask for, we get what we expect.

If you are afraid to take a chance, take one anyway. What you don't do can create the same regrets as the mistakes you make.

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.

The only relationship we can have in this life is the relationship we have with ourselves. We cannot love anybody more than we love ourselves. We cannot treat anyone any better than we treat ourselves. When you forget you, give up on you, or devalue yourself, anyone coming into your life has a universal responsibility to follow your lead.

As people, we have forgotten to be people. We know how to be doctors, lawyers, nurses, teachers, we know what to do, we know what to buy, but how do I just sit with you in your pain? How do I sit with you in your vulnerability and not betray you, not abuse you? We do not know how to do that, even in our homes.

You know that you've healed an issue when you can talk about it and you're not weeping, when you can speak to it and identify the lesson. You know that you've healed an issue when, having gone through that, has a benefit that you live today.

What looks like a failure teaches us what not to do, what does not work. We have lessons to learn from our experiences.
