Anything less is a cheapened relationship. Anything less is ordinary.

What is there to gain from heartbreak?

When you are growing up, everyone tells you that you will “just know” when you’ve met the person you’re going to be with forever.

Meditation is akin to working out: you don’t just do it once and expect to see results. Rather, you incorporate it into your everyday life and see sustained results with time.

The term “leadership” has an inherently positive connotation… but that doesn’t always mean that every person in a leadership position is a principled person with admirable character.

Stop digitally checking in with friends you had falling outs with, exes, and anyone else who isn’t an active part of your life. They’re only going to keep going on without you.

If someone can be happy for others who are doing better than them in life, believe that they are confident in their own decisions. 

Be the bigger person and try to imagine what wounds made them act the way they did.

You start to align not with needing to be fixed but with already being fixed.

People who self-sabotage can’t tell the difference between comfort and happiness.

Sometimes, our feelings can betray us, and we can end up treating a teacher like a soulmate. 

Human behaviors are not random, and they are only confusing until you understand what’s driving them.

You are almost psychic in your ability to intuit what other people are thinking, feeling, or need in order to heal.

Nobody is thinking about you as much as you are thinking about you.

Our biggest aversion to psychological guidance systems—religious or not—tends to be skepticism bred out of (assumed) inapplicability. We’ll trust lifestyle magazines and blog posts and cultural norms. This is simply because they make sense to us.

Doing things slowly, but well.

Empaths are more sensitive than other people, and this is a great thing. They aren’t going to tolerate you consistently complaining without making change, judging without checking yourself, or worrying without cause. 

We are the generation that drinks green juice in the morning and made vegan food popular. We have political opinions and source our food locally and care about the chemicals that are in cleaning supplies.
