[Neale Donald Walsch @realNDWalsch]

Life begins now -- right now -- not tomorrow or the next day or the next. Every minute of every hour of every day, life begins anew. That means everything can change in an instant. It also means you can have a new beginning whenever you want.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

The golden child is the ‘easy’ child who has learned to suppress their own needs. They tend to raise themselves and suffer silently as a result of never getting true emotional support.

[Eckhart Tolle Quotes @EckTOLLEQuotes]

The voice in the head has a life of its own. Most people are at the mercy of that voice; they are possessed by thought, by the mind. And since the mind is conditioned by the past, you are then forced to reenact the past again and again.

Part of my self-love practice is being aware of & sending love & gratitude to my younger self. She did such a good job of setting me up for success & she is a survivor! I’m getting these framed together so I can see her & send her love every day! 💖

[Eckhart Tolle Quotes @EckTOLLEQuotes]

Forgive yourself for not being at peace. The moment you completely accept your non-peace, your non-peace becomes transmuted into peace. Anything you accept fully will get you there, will take you into peace. This is the miracle of surrender.

6. We have to identify our “safe”people and practice expressing our needs to them- and if we have to stand up for ourselves with someone who isn’t safe & trusted- then we can role play to practice to gain the confidence to advocate for ourselves.

[Dr. Joy Bracey @drjoybracey]

If you struggle to stand up for yourself- this could be why. 🧵👇

5. So then, the challenge becomes- Who in my life can I trust with my true self? Who in my life am I safe with? And we can make decisions based on the answers to those questions.

@chrisfrink I grew up going to Catholic school and my favorite “church song” to this day is “Be Not Afraid” 💖

[Dr. Joy Bracey @drjoybracey]

Avoid making decisions based in fear. 💖

[Bob Proctor @bobproctorLIVE]

Faith and fear both demand you believe in something you cannot see. You choose! #BobProctor

[Deion 𓋹 @CalmDeion]

Trust your intuition.
Your soul will guide you.

[Eckhart Tolle Quotes @EckTOLLEQuotes]

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary focus of your life.

[Neale Donald Walsch @realNDWalsch]

Life was meant to be happy. If you don't believe that, then life will have no choice but to play itself out according to your non-belief.
