You don’t have to apologize for loving someone or wanting a life that no longer fits your blueprint. The beginning phase of reclaiming your life always starts with apologizing to yourself, then apologizing to others...

Tough love and brutal truth from strangers are far more valuable than Band-Aids and half-truths from invested friends, who don’t want to see you suffer any more than you have.

Owning a book is a third of the goal. The others are actually reading it and applying it.

The lesson will always repeat itself, unless you see yourself as the problem–not others.
