Kindle Notes & Highlights
You never meet the right people at the wrong time because the right people are timeless.
The right people don’t stand in the way of the things you once wanted and make you choose them over those things. The right people encourage you to try harder, dream bigger, and do better. They bring out the most incredible parts of yourself and make you want to fight harder than ever before.
With the right person, you have all the time in the world.
For every fierce woman who’s tried to be tame, I hope you know—there’s a place in this world for wild hearts like yours. And the sooner you stop trying to fight it, the sooner you’re already home.
Picking the person you love over the life that you want means your sense of self-worth will slowly degrade and deteriorate over years of contentedly slipping into bed beside someone you’re comfortable with.
Love is wonderful, worthwhile, and enriching, but it should never be a standoff between the person and the life you want.
You should be able to be with somebody you love and also live a life that entices, invigorates, and inspires you.
What you have when you have a relationship that forces you to whittle or water yourself down is a mismatch of values.
To do the hard thing that none of us want to do and to go pursue the life that you wish you were living.
You are tired because you’re growing. And someday, that growth will give way to the exact rejuvenation you need.
You understand that you have infinitely less to do with other people’s actions than you’ve always believed. And you learn to be fine with that.
Finding peace is a long, uphill battle. Forgiveness is just what you take to stay hydrated along the way.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean that you are giving up all of your power. Forgiveness means you’re finally ready to take it back.
We have to forgive ourselves for not being our own best friends, our own confidants, and our own biggest cheerleaders. We didn’t know what a difference it would make to love ourselves until we finally did.
