Avoiding unnecessary suffering

"Through spiritual maturity you will see new ways to avoid unnecessary suffering; wiser ways to endure unavoidable hardships with grace, and opportunities to turn your pain into lessons of service and healing for others. Your hard journey has had a great purpose! Your pain was always a part of a plan to open your heart to love. Have faith. A miracle is happening in your life; the miracle of pain is transforming you to your highest self."

Believe in the magic of life

"When you quit believing in the magic of life, you get a life without magic."
— Bryant McGill

Kindness toward yourself

"We are all very fragile and feel alone at times. We are also very strong and are surrounded with community at times. Things change, but throughout your life you are the constant. This is why it is important that you learn how to treat yourself kindly. Start with one act of kindness at a time — toward yourself."
— Bryant McGill

Get out while you can

"Some people have abusive, negative, controlling tendencies in their blood; they are wired for havoc, bickering and deception. They know of no other way to interface with others except through their created chaos. Chaos is their home-court advantage where they play their mind-games so they can have power over you; it's a rigged game you can never win. Listen to your inner-voice. Get out while you can!"
— Bryant McGill

Quit resisting

"Quit resisting. Let your pain pierce your hard heart so the agony can flow out and the love can rush in. It's the love that will bring you back to life."
— Bryant McGill

Quit hanging on to the past

"Quit hanging on to the past; fantasizing, dreaming, wishing and replaying it. You can't change it. You just haven't realized it yet it, but you have moved on. You are different now; not of the past, but of now — a different person. You don't need what the past had. Your life is here today. Your greatest moments are ahead of you and are right where you are now, so seize them while you can, before it is too late."

Make plans today

"Everything is easy with proper planning."
— Bryant McGill

Opening yourself to what is wonderful

"Letting go of your painful past is how you open yourself to a wonderful future."
— Bryant McGill

Selfishness is suffocating

"When you are selfish you only suffocate yourself. The more you can be open and joyfully celebrate in other people's successes — the more success will open for you. The more you dream for others — the more your own dreams will come true."
— Bryant McGill

If you want to be respected

"If you want to be respected start with yourself; respect yourself and love yourself. This you can do today even when others will not. How respectfully you treat yourself, is in time, reflected back from others more and more each day. It always begins with you."
