“There is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft... When you kill a man, you steal a life,’ Baba said. ‘You steal his wife’s right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone’s right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness. Do you see?”

“You are not a back-up plan. You are worth more than someone's second choice. You can't force yourself to stop caring for someone, but you can tell yourself that you deserve better. Never settle to be someone's second best. Raise your standards and choose to be with someone who will treat you with the same respect and consideration you would treat them. You can't expect to be someone else's priority if you aren't your own.”

“If a man doesn't call you it's because he doesn't want to call you. If he doesn't invite you to go out it's because he doesn't care. If he lets you go, it's because he doesn't want to be with you. When a man says, 'I'm not ready but you are the love of my life and the only one I want but now is not the right time.' It's simply because he doesn't want you. Don't keep playing his confusing games. Don't justify him. When a man wants to be with a woman he stays with her without lies, excuses and complications. Stop being genuine and naive, and stop justifying his every excuse and complication and put yourself first. You DO NOT need someone that doesn't know what they want, you DO NOT need someone that doesn't see your worth. You deserve a man that knows you're worth and fights for you every day. Stop breaking your own heart for someone who probably won't even be as good as you expect and give yourself the opportunity to be happy with someone who actually deserves you.”

“Do yourself a favor and learn how to walk away. When a connection starts to fade learn how to let it go. When a person starts to mistreat you, learn how to move on to something and someone better. Don't waste your time and energy trying to force something that isn't meant to be. Because the truth is, for every one person who doesn't value you there are tons more waiting to love you better. Do better.”
