You are continuously provided with opportunities to learn greater lessons and realize greater spiritual fulfillment.

Iyanla Vanzant

You are never angry for the reason you think you are. There’s an older hurt under that.

Iyanla Vanzant

You are not what has happened to you nor are you obligated to carry it on your back.

Iyanla Vanzant

You are the light of the world. You are an instrument of the Divine. You are the greatest miracle in the world. Life is graced by your presence.

Iyanla Vanzant

You can accept or reject the way you are treated by other people. But until you heal the wounds of your past, you are going to bleed.

Iyanla Vanzant

You can forgive, no matter what has been done to you. As long as you do not forgive, you are locked into the memory of the event.

Iyanla Vanzant

You can never love anyone to your own detriment. That is not love, that is possession, control, fear, or a combination of them all.

Iyanla Vanzant

You can’t do anything as long as you are afraid of what might happen. No matter what the problem is, we must muster up courage to face it.

Iyanla Vanzant

You can’t just cry about the pain. You can’t just pray about the pain. You must eliminate the pain.

Iyanla Vanzant

You cannot experience the fullness of your authentic self or life when you live to avoid hurt. You will never know the joy of love or the peaceful satisfaction of being loved if you hide from hurt.
