It will eat you alive

"They caused the first wound, but you are causing the rest; this is what not forgiving does. They got it started but you keep it going. Forgive and let it go, or it will eat you alive. You think they made you feel this way, but when you won't forgive, you are the one inflicting the pain on yourself."
— Bryant McGill

Know when to disengage

"There is a difference between giving-up and strategic disengagement. Know the difference."
— Bryant McGill

The only chance of changing

"Stop deceiving yourself. If you can accept and deal with an unpleasant reality, you at least have a chance of changing that reality. But, if you refuse to see and deal with reality, you will be doomed to continue living your untruthful life."
— Bryant McGill

Do not live in a fantasy world

"Ambition without action is fantasy. Set a goal, write it down and get started. Don't think forever. Don't plan forever. Don't dream forever. Dreaming is not enough without the doing!"
— Bryant McGill

Quit hurting people back

"Your life will be so much better when you start trying to understand and have compassion for the people who hurt you — instead of just reacting in the heat of the moment and hurting them back."
— Bryant McGill

Be a seeker of good

"Know yourself. Be yourself. Love yourself. Seek goodness and be goodness. Seek beauty and be beauty. Seek love and be love."
— Bryant McGill

The past is history

"Live in the present, or die in your past; it's your choice."
— Bryant McGill

Never neglect yourself

"This is your life! Be you. There is one clear urgency in your life that you must never neglect, and that is — you must be yourself."
— Bryant McGill

Seize the happiness

"If you want to be happy you must become a happiness seeker. You have to think about happiness, look for the happiness, seize the happiness and believe with all of your heart that you deserve happiness."
— Bryant McGill

Be weird!

"Common thinking will only get you a common life."
— Bryant McGill
