The older I get, the more I realize how valuable it is to let go of the anchors holding you back.
When someone makes a mistake, forgive them. When someone wrongs you, move on. When someone slights you, let it go. When someone tells you they didn’t mean it, believe them. When someone tries to pull you down, let them go.
Moving forward helps a lot and doesn’t cost a thing.

You become what you give your attention to …
If you yourself don’t choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will!

For a word to be spoken there must be silence.
Both before and after.
