One-Liners and Other Favorite Quotes

Don't be afraid of becoming a better version of yourself.
We all have our issues. And sometimes... *gasp*... we do have to look in the mirror and admit that we're enablers, we're afraid, we're lonely, we need more, and we deserve more. Unfortunately, change isn't gonna come without a little work, but change is not in any way, shape, or form impossible or unbearable. Become the best version of yourself for YOUR sake. Others will benefit without any additional work on your part... that's assuming you think anyone deserves the best You.

You can't blame yourself for not being 'the one' for every man.
And by the way, the fact that he thinks/says you're 'the one' doesn't mean he's the one for you. Generally, if you don't feel like 'the one,' it's because he's not treating you like 'the one,' and that's your cue to hit the trail.

"Even a great horse can't wear two saddles." - Unknown
This is an ode to single moms. Moms, don't be wondering why you're not amazing at everything. You can't be. And those who look like they've got it under control are on dangerously high levels of anti-depressants, and their children are addicted to sleep aids. Trust me. ;) So eat pizza, do your laundry next week, and only attempt to do what is within your physical and emotional limits.

"If you're not failing, you're not trying hard enough." - Dan Shipper
It's true. If you fail at something, don't feel bad. If you never fail, you're only doing what's easy, and what's easy doesn't generate growth. But if you're constantly failing...

Don't keep doing the same thing and expect different results.
That, my friends, is the definition of insanity. If you repeatedly fail at something, it doesn't mean you have to give up. It means you need a different approach. Even small changes can produce great results. (Although sometimes life requires a complete 360 and a fresh start). And remember, with the right mental commentary, the right support, and some balls, you can do anything. It's not about waiting for the storm to pass, but about learning to dance in the rain!!!

A man without an aspiration is a man without an identity.
'Nuff said.

Your reality is ONLY a reflection of your choices and your reactions to the choices made by others.
Don't ever blame someone else for your situation. No one is making you stay. You got yourself here, and by Golly,  you're the only one who can change your life. Don't wait for someone to treat you the way you want to be treated, and don't wait to win the lottery. If you like where you are, you probably got yourself there (congrats!) If you don't like where you are, you probably got yourself there, too.
