“The quickest way to block your in-flow of good is to begrudge someone else what they have. There are three principles of prosperity we must observe to ensure we receive our good: (1) Ask for what you want, (2) Give what you want away, (3) Be willing to see someone else get what you want before you do. When we follow these principles, we demonstrate our faith that no matter what we have, there is more than enough to go around.” —Iyanla Vanzant

Prayers Are Always Answered
“Prayers are always answered. You don’t have to beg or make deals with the Creator when you pray. The key is to pray with faith, knowing and believing that, what you ask for, you already have!” —Iyanla Vanzant
I seriously question this because I am having a major crisis of faith. I don’t lack faith; I lack the ability to believe my prayers are being listened to and heard. Especially when bad things keep piling up. 😦
Each Day…
“Each day, focus your attention on what you want. Each day, take one step that will bring you closer to it. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! The key is to identify it, claim it for yourself, and believe that you are worthy to have it. —Iyanla Vanzant
It Is Not Our Job
“It is not our job in life to judge what is right or wrong for somebody else. When another person behaves in a manner which seems to be unhealthy or unproductive, we must not judge. We must learn to accept. Once we accept this is how the person chooses to behave, we have the right to decide whether or not we want to participate.” —Iyanla Vanzant
Many Of Us…
“Many of us hold on to our pain, afraid to reveal it. Ashamed to admit it. We owe it to ourselves and everyone else to see that all people live painless and free. It is our duty to share what we know if it has helped us to move beyond some darkness in life.” —Iyanla Vanzant
An Unexpressed Feeling
An unexpressed feeling is like a rubber band being stretched to its limit. The longer you hold on to the feeling, the more the tension grows. Eventually something has to give, or the rubber band is going to snap. When that happens, someone is going to get hurt. What you feel is important and expressing it is an important step toward healing yourself and someone else.

Truth Is A Spiritual Principle
“Truth is a spiritual principle that, if practiced consciously and embraced wholeheartedly, will eliminate the dark, negative thoughts that we, as physical beings, are prone to have.” —Iyanla Vanzant
A Wound
“A wound needs air in order to heal. We must talk about and expose those things which have hurt or harmed us in some way. Our wounds need nurturing care in order to heal. If we are to nurture and heal, we must admit that the wounds exist. We must carefully do what is necessary to help ourselves feel better.” —Iyanla Vanzant
Self-Doubt Can Easily…
“Self-doubt can easily become the cause of every missed step in life. Self-doubt steals dreams, denies hope, and assassinates faith. Know that you know what you are doing. When you do what feels right for you, know that you know it is right for you.” —Iyanla Vanzant
To Honor Life
“To honor life, we must be willing to grow through what we don’t know yet, and outgrow what we know no longer fits us. We must be willing to give in to the process, moment by moment, realizing a new plot may be unfolding.” —Iyanla Vanzant
