If you ever want to know how a man truly feels about you, do absolutely nothing. Then you’ll have your answer.
If you notice yourself viewing a potential partner as a “work in progress”, that’s a sign to find someone else.
An abuser isn’t abusive 24/7. They usually demonstrate positive character traits most of the time. That’s what makes the abuse so confusing when it happens, and what makes leaving so much more difficult.
Prioritise self-care & incorporate a MINIMUM of 60 mins ‘ME TIME’ into your daily routine. YES THERE ARE enough hours in the day. NO EXCUSES.
Does that new man in your life call his ex “a slut”, “a whore”, “a bitch”, “psycho” , “crazy”, “a nutter” etc etc. Chances are, whatever he’s calling his ex right now, he’ll be calling you when things don’t go his way. Be warned.
Stop making someone else’s looks your “#goals”. By all means aspire to be a better version of your current self, but don’t glorify others when you yourself are glorious.
Our soul is like a soft and gentle flower, it needs to be nurtured, cared for, tended to, with sufficient sunlight, fresh air and freedom to bloom into its most precious and beautiful form. This, my friend, is self-love.
Reframing your past painful experiences and seeing them in a humorous light takes away the power and emotional charge attached to the memory of the hurtful event.
You need to be your own cheer squad not your own worst enemy.
When you’re having what you feel like is a “bad day” and then someone comes along out of nowhere and extends to you the simplest of kind gestures, you feel it so deeply within your heart.
Don’t use your past history as an excuse to be miserable. Use your past as a testament to show the world just how far you have come.
Don’t ever let others impose their self-limiting beliefs on to you. They don’t have the courage and spirit that you do.
Take notice of what thoughts you choose to fill your mind with each day. Our thoughts draw to us whatever is dominating our mind, so always keep what you are thinking about in check.

Don’t underestimate the power of a mind that is made up.
Our experiences always teach us something. If the experience is “bad”, then the lesson is even more powerful and meaningful. Every unfortunate incident makes us stronger and better equipped to handle new challenges.
Instead of complaining about your situation, actually do something about it. Playing “poor me” just ain’t sexy.
Whenever you hear yourself or others telling you you cannot do something, do that particular something, and notice how quickly everyone shuts the hell up.
Prove yourself and others wrong everyday by redefining who you THINK you are, through performing actions you would normally deem impossible or uncharacteristic of you.
When you notice yourself desperately trying to think of an excuse to avoid a new experience out of FEAR, ANXIETY or INSECURITY, make the decision to say: “sure, I’ll do it” , and see how your life improves.
Be thankful to those who refuse to help you, for they force you to summon upon your warrior within.
The saying ‘flattery gets you everywhere’ appalls me. If you’re going to pay someone a compliment make sure it’s 100% genuine or not at all.-Flattery is deception and who wants to be lied to?
Threatening a current or former partner isn’t passion, or love, or heartache. It’s violence, it’s abuse and it’s a crime.
Exactly what are you wanting to teach your children? -How to love and care for themselves, or how to neglect and abandon themselves? Self-sarifice is NOT setting a good example.
Women aren’t my competition because male attention and sexual objectification are not prizes for me.
Be that kind of girl who smiles when you walk past other girls instead of casting a dirty look. Don’t buy into the notion of female competition that society so heavily promotes.
Guys, you don’t have to act “manly” to be considered a man; you are a man, so just be yourself. You don’t have to prove your masculinity to anyone.
Guys, you don’t have to act “manly” to be considered a man; you are a man, so just be yourself. Don’t let society make you believe you have to prove your masculinity to anyone because you don’t. You are you and you are worthy, full stop.
Girls and guys, don’t let anyone tell you who and what you should be into.
All men are ‘real men’, whether they wear KingGees or a pink tutu.
What I am or am not wearing does not correlate with my competency as a professional, a mother, or a feminist role model. My clothes do not define me and nor does my nakedness. I define me.

There is a need for promoting women’s sexual agency in today’s society, because if it wasn’t an issue, terms such as ‘female sexual empowerment’ would be made redundant. The fact that we merely have this vocabulary is indicative of that.
Don’t allow yourself to be fooled by how “nice” a person appears to be, measure a person’s virtuousness by the way in which they treat others with their words and actions .
Gratitude is the antidote for misery. When you are counting your blessings you are too busy to be counting your problems.
Sacred blessings and divine opportunities appear in your life disguised as unforeseen changes and challenging circumstances.
The only person you should ever fear losing in a relationship is you yourself.
We can all make a difference in the lives of others in need, because it is the most simple of gestures that make the most significant of differences.
When you begin to relinquish your ego, you will no longer feel compelled to prove to people how busy you are in an attempt to validate your sense of worth.
Always remember to give yourself the kindness, compassion and consideration you give to others.
The difference between a professional victim and an empowered person is NOT what has happened to them, but the way in which they REACT to what has happened to them.
Motivation may be what starts you off, but it’s habit that keeps you going back for more. Are your habits working for you or against you? Are your habits helping you to achieve your goals or hindering the process?
If you have control over yourself, you have no desire to control others.
You are never alone as long as you are in the company of your precious self.
Remember that this is YOUR LIFE, and nothing is more important than YOU.
Yes, you ARE important enough; and yes, your needs and wants DO matter.
You are NOT an abuse survivor or victim. Leave your labels elsewhere because they are no longer serving you.
Self respect by definition is a confidence and pride in feeling that you are behaving in an honorable and dignified manner. -Respect yourself by respecting others.
Self respect by definition is a confidence and pride in knowing that your behaviour is both honorable and dignified. -Respect yourself by respecting others.
Those of us who have overcome so many adversities from a very young age, are privileged to be able to communicate profound insights and advice to others, speaking from a place of genuine confidence and knowing.
Go out and do your thing knowing that rejection and failure is an inevitable and integral part of the process to achieving your dreams.
I don’t believe in failure. Whenever you take action and do something, irrespective of the outcome, you have succeeded by simply doing and trying. The universe rewards action. So believe in yourself and do whatever it is you want to do.
You are your own soul mate, so love and treat yourself in the same way you would your life partner.
My Dear Friend, Don’t ever allow yourself to forget how incredibly special you are, even for a single second. Without you, the world would not be as magnificent. Let yourself remember to love again, starting with you loving you.
There is nothing shameful about loving yourself. The shame is in NOT loving the unique and brilliant individual that you are.
You don’t need to be primary caregiver of your children to be of primary influence in their lives. What you do for them behind the scenes in your own unique way is what makes the true difference in the long run.
Motivation may be what starts you off, but it’s habit that keeps you going back for more.
️Don’t say “I’m a worrier and this is just who I am”!, or “I’ve always been a worrier, I can’t help it”; instead decide from this day forward to become someone who DOESN’T worry.
The way you choose to think and speak about yourself (to yourself and others), IS A CHOICE! You may have spent your whole life talking about yourself in a negative way, but that doesn’t mean you have to continue that path.
Don’t say “I’m a worrier and this is just who I am”….or “I’ve always been a worrier, I can’t help it”; instead decide from this day forward to become someone who DOESN’T worry.
Make a promise to yourself right now, that you will choose your thoughts and words wisely, that you will no longer use disempowered language about yourself, and nor will you ever negatively define yourself by what has occurred in your past.
Has anyone ever noticed that when ethnic Australians excel in sport they are heralded “Aussies”; but when something goes wrong they are thrown the “go back to where you came from” line? WAKE UP RACISTS.
Mothering your man is not sexy for you or for him. If you want your man to “start being a man”, start being his lover not his mother.
Don’t let lack of sexual communication get in the way of your pleasure any longer. Dare to ask the questions that will make sex so much more enjoyable, boost passion, and facilitate a deeper connection and intimacy in your relationship.
Erotic role-play is a powerful sexual outlet which can orgasmically release us from the shackles of convention and normality to express a side of ourselves we otherwise would not have opportunity to convey.
Be wary of a self-professed “nice guy”. Anyone who is always going around saying they are “just trying to be nice” are most often, anything but nice. -If you’re truly kind and loving, you don’t have to “try”. It comes naturally.
Heartfelt communicators make such a difference in the lives of others through their authentic depth and sincere expression.
It is by no means your past that determines or dictates your present or your future; it is what you think and what you say, which then results in what you feel and what you do.
Boredom is your soul’s way of telling you to step up and do what you were born to.
Making excuses as to why you cannot do something based on what you don’t have, or what hasn’t happened yet, only serves to hold you back even further. WAIT FOR NOTHING & NO-ONE.
Our personal history does not inhibit our present or our future. Don’t let anyone (including yourself) tell you you can’t do something. Find your passion and take action everyday to work towards achieving your life purpose.
