Sometimes it takes being away from someone or something for a while to realize just how much you need that person or thing in your life.

Do it honestly and from the heart, or not at all.

Your past does not determine who you are. Your past prepares you for who you are capable of becoming.

Sometimes you don’t realize your own strength until someone tries to take advantage of one of your weaknesses.

What seems like the right thing to do could also be the hardest thing you have ever done. Do it anyway.

Don't give up on yourself. Keep fighting. Sometimes you've got to go through the worst of times to get the best.

Forget the haters. Never undervalue who you are and what you're capable of.

When you pick the most difficult and painful choice but your heart is at peace, you will know you made the right decision.

It's better to be strong and experienced than pretty and useless.

Anyone can hide; it's the easiest thing to do. Standing up, facing the truth, and working through problems, that's what makes you strong.

Don't let your emotions distract you from doing what needs to be done. Control your emotions so your emotions do not control you.

Don't ever mistake my silence for ignorance, my calmness for acceptance or my kindness for weakness.

Life will often challenge you with difficulties, but every time you overcome these difficulties you gain strength and wisdom.

When you’re scared but you take the next step anyway, that’s bravery.

Every experience in life can teach you a valuable lesson, you just have to be willing to pay attention and learn.

Treat your friends how you want them to treat you.

If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.
