When you stand and share your story in an empowering way,
your story will heal you and your story will heal somebody else.

 

I Choose…
to live by choice, not by chance
to be motivated, not manipulated
to be useful, not used
to make changes, not excuses
to excel, not compete
I choose self-esteem, not self pity
I choose to listen to my inner voice,
not to the random opinion of others.

 

Everything is just as it needs to be.
And if we would forgive,
our minds and hearts would open
and we could see another possibility.

 

You can’t start the next chapter in your life
if you keep re-reading the last one.
