"Start ignoring people who threaten your joy. Literally, ignore them. Say nothing. Don’t invite any parts of them into your space."

"Peace is not always easy to grasp or keep close. In the process of attaining and protecting it, you may find yourself tired, weary, and uncertain on how to keep your peace safe. While being uncertain is normal, continue to commit yourself to peacefulness. You are worthy of every drop of sweetness and ease that you encounter. Being tested is a part of the journey. Giving up, and letting go, is not."

"The respect you show to others (or lack thereof) is an immediate reflection on your self respect."
