Don’t wait until you’re in a crisis to come up with a crisis plan.

Forgiveness of those who have transgressed against you, or those you love, is not about them; it is about you. It is a gift to yourself.

Phil McGraw

Grief is a process to go through, not a destination in which to wallow. In a process, you keep putting one foot in front of the other, and each little step is part of your healing.

Phil McGraw

Happiness isn’t a one-size-fits-all proposition. You must define what it looks like for you and then make a conscious effort to access whatever gets you to your unique definition of joy.

Phil McGraw

If emotional pain or problems have cropped up in your life, you must insist on getting closure. Closure means you don’t carry the problem or the pain. You address the issue, then you slam shut the book and put it away.

Phil McGraw

In life you have three options with any situation that is a challenge. Remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it.

Phil McGraw

Instead of being ashamed of what you’ve been through, be proud of what you have overcome!
