"Before complaining or accusing or reprimanding someone or launching a counterattack in self-defense, ask yourself, "Is it really important?" In most cases, it isn't, and you avoid conflict." 


"I do not define myself by how many roadblocks have appeared in my path. I define myself by the courage I’ve found to forge new roads.

I do not define myself by how many disappointments I’ve faced. I define myself by the forgiveness and the faith I have found to begin again.

I do not define myself by how long a relationship lasted. I define myself by how much I have loved, and been willing to love again.

I do not define myself by how many times I have been knocked down. I define myself by how many times I rise up from every fall.

I am not my pain.
I am not my past."

"If I have harmed anyone in any way,
either knowingly or unknowingly,
through my own confusion,
I ask their forgiveness.

If anyone has harmed me in any way,
either knowingly or unknowingly,
through their own confusion,
I forgive them.

And if there is a situation
I am not yet ready to forgive
I forgive myself for that.

For all the ways that I harm myself,
negate, doubt, belittle myself,
judge or be unkind to myself,
through my own confusion,
I forgive myself."
