How to change your life

"If you want your life to be different you have to start reacting to life differently."
— Bryant McGill

Every good thing begins with one positive thought

"If you feel overwhelmed just try to relax and look for one positive thought. Every good thing begins with one positive thought. You don't need to change everything in your life instantly. All you need is one positive thought. You can hold-on to that thought, and it will remind you that there is hope. One simple, positive thought is enough to make it all worth it."
— Bryant McGill

Give life to solutions

"You give life to your problems with your words. If you really want change, then begin to use your words to give life to solutions."
— Bryant McGill

Do not let the chaos inside you

"Just because your world is falling apart doesn't mean you have to fall apart. When everything seems crazy, you be calm. Don't let the chaos you are facing inside of you."
— Bryant McGill

Be careful from whom you take advice

"People who talk a lot about compassion often have no compassion for themselves. They want to help everyone when their life is a wreck. They go from one failing, "uplifting" enterprise to another, but the wheels are falling-off their car, their body is out of whack and their finances are out of order, yet somehow, there they are, "advising people." What they really need to do is take care of their own business. The last thing any of us need is ill advice from someone fully out of control in t...

Taking care of you

"Of course you want to be a good person and be helpful to people in need, but it's impossible to give to others if you have been used-up. Being a good person has nothing to do with allowing people to destroy you. There are limits. You can best help others from a position of strength, not weakness. So, don't forget to be good to yourself first. Don't forget to take care of you! It is never cruel to want to save yourself from being swamped by fools. Remember, this is your life and you have the...

Learn how to draw a line

"You can still be a charitable person who helps and cares about people, without helping those very people destroy your life. Learn how to draw a line and learn how to enforce it. Get selfish and take care of you. You must clear out what you don't want, to make room for what you do want to arrive. The way to send a clear message that you are ready for better people in your life is the kick the rascals to the curb. We strive our whole lives to love people unconditionally, but sometimes we need...

It always seems impossible

"Stop your worrying, panicking and stressing. Breathe. Remember, you made it this far through difficulties that seemed impossible. Remember how many times you were saved at the very last minute — this time is no different."
— Bryant McGill

Moving to the next level

"Staying in an unhealthy relationship can keep a person from finding their own way and moving to the next level of their own path — and that person could even be you. Sometimes the best way to save someone is to walk-away. Real love sometimes means saying goodbye."
— Bryant McGill

The silver lining

"When the storm rips you to pieces, you get to decide how to put yourself back together again."
