Failing to achieve a balance across every area of your life can leave you feeling exhausted, among many other unpleasant emotions, such as guilt.
It’s important to recognize that it’s not unjust to let go of those who show no concern for you.
But true self-love is when you appreciate where you are and who you are, regardless of any transformation you aspire to.
Improving yourself and your life is also self-love, because it means you recognize that you deserve more than settling for mediocrity.
When you love yourself, life will begin to love you back.
‘We are what we are, because of the vibrations of thought which we pick up and register, through the stimuli of our daily environment.’
Change the way you think, feel, speak and act, and you begin to change your world.
The more ‘real’ or solid something is to you, the closer you are to it vibrationally. This is why when you truly believe in something and act as if it were already true, you increase the chances of it coming to you in your physical reality.

The common misconception is that you’ll feel good only once you have what you want. The truth is that you can feel good right now.

When you forgive people you don’t improve the past, you improve your present and future. You give yourself more peace and build more positive energy internally.
Lack of time isn’t an excuse. If you can’t make the time for something, it’s not a high enough priority for you.
If something is important to you, you’ll make the time for it.
Use your intuition to guide you. If something feels wrong, it usually is!
Things are always easier when you’re in the mood to do them, but if you want to live a greater life than the average person, you have to commit the same effort even when you’re not.
You don’t need it all figured out. The more you think you do, the more you’ll procrastinate and fear moving forward. Have courage and start now, even if you start small. Just go for it!
giving up what you want most for what you want now can deprive you of life’s real treasures.
We use our precious energy to imagine what could go wrong, instead of having faith in what could go right. And our actions reflect this.
