If you truly loved someone you won’t become their enemy. You will become their guardian angel.

Loyalty is what you focus on and won’t give up.

When you meet a dark angel don’t you ever for one minute believe they are bad because they have faced the worst demons and lived to guide you through yours. It really isn’t an easy job they have been asked to do, but then neither was standing on the front line during the war in heaven.

Never allow yourself to become a choice in any relationship. The moment you do is when you have reduced your loved one’s affections to a daily biological question: Should I take a dump here or wait till I get home?

Lies don’t end relationships the truth does.

Sometimes, it is how you shine in the darkness during other people’s misery that is remembered more than anything you could have said or done when you have suffered just as much.

Blame doesn’t empower you. It keeps you stuck in a place you don’t want to be because you don’t want to make the temporary, but painful decision, to be responsible for the outcome of your own life’s happiness.

Don’t do the right thing for the wrong reasons. It is the “why” that keeps us committed to our choices and defines our character.

If you want to be a good parent then be a great leader. You should live a life with passion for someone and something. The legacy you leave your children shouldn’t be how you suffered in gratitude for a life you had no passion for. Rather, it should be how grateful you are to a God that believes fairytales can come true because they came true for you.
