1- Comparison is an act of violence against the self. Iyanla Vanzant

11- All of us have ways in which we mask and cover our pain. Iyanla Vanzant

We all experience pain in our loves and we all have our own personal way of handling it. This is why it is so important to be kind to others, you never know what pain they are hiding.

12- I now know that nothing in my life will change until I change the way I see my life and myself. Iyanla Vanzant

If you want to make a change in your life, you have to start with yourself. There are no pass outs, no handouts and no shortcuts.

Make a start on loving yourself today.
