When you are open to receive what God is able to do for you, you stop doing. You learn how to "Be still and know!" You know that your good is on the way, according to God's nature and willingness to give. You also put your faith in the fact that God is always on time. -- Iyanla Vanzant

One of the greatest challenges in creating a joyful, peaceful and abundant life is taking responsibility for what you do and how you do it.

Iyanla Vanzant Quotes : pic 000144170

There are times when we do not recognize that it is time for us to move forward. When life is ready for us to move and we resist, life will move us by any means necessary.

It is a given that we will all make some mistakes in life. It is a given that you will make inappropriate choices for inappropriate reasons. They will in no way affect your worth.

Iyanla Vanzant Quotes : pic 000258565

Iyanla Vanzant Quotes : pic 000304949

Lives fall apart when they need to be rebuilt. -- Iyanla Vanzant
Iyanla Vanzant Quotes : pic 000322348

Iyanla Vanzant Quotes : pic 000351196

Iyanla Vanzant Quotes : pic 000363216

Iyanla Vanzant Quotes : pic 000364056

Iyanla Vanzant Quotes : pic 000366887

Iyanla Vanzant Quotes : pic 000401302

Iyanla Vanzant Quotes : pic 000402845
If you really want to live your life to the fullest and realize your greatest potential, you must be willing to run the risk of making some people mad. People may not like what you do, people may not like how you do it, but these people are not living your life. You are! -- Iyanla Vanzant
Iyanla Vanzant Quotes : pic 000405314
From where you sit, it may seem that certain people should know better. People are who they are and do what they do whether or not you like it or agree with them. We each have different lessons to learn. We each take a different path to our lessons. -- Iyanla Vanzant
Iyanla Vanzant Quotes : pic 000407589

Iyanla Vanzant Quotes : pic 000455232

Iyanla Vanzant Quotes : pic 000459910

Their issues are not your issues. -- Iyanla Vanzant
Iyanla Vanzant Quotes : pic 000506068

Iyanla Vanzant Quotes : pic 000529739
Rather than beating yourself up for what you are not doing, appreciate and celebrate the things you are doing.

Iyanla Vanzant Quotes : pic 000543498

Faith without challenge is nothing. -- Iyanla Vanzant
Iyanla Vanzant Quotes : pic 000559618

Iyanla Vanzant Quotes : pic 000577005
Why are you measuring? This is how you block, delay, hinder, obstruct and deny his place in the life as a father. -- Iyanla Vanzant
Iyanla Vanzant Quotes : pic 000585815
Nothing destroys self-worth, self-acceptance and self-love faster than denying what you feel. Without feelings, you would not know where you are in life. Nor would you know what areas you need to work on. Honor your feelings. Allow yourself to feel them. -- Iyanla Vanzant
Iyanla Vanzant Quotes : pic 000591395
Don't get hung up on the hard times, the challenges. Tell your story by highlighting the victories. Because it's your victories that will inspire, motivate, encourage other people to live their stories in grander ways. -- Iyanla Vanzant
