141 " True saddness is when someone still thinks your the same person after all these years. They brand you because of their own ego, fear and lack of spirituality. What's sadder is when they are Christian. "
― Shannon L. Alder
142 " When someone is stalking you because they think you are stalking them, it makes you wonder who really is the true stalker? "
143 " He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life. "
144 " Living a life somewhere else in your mind is nothing more than being a prisoner where you are. "
145 " The secret to life is to have no fear. When you can let go of what others think about you, how something is going to turn out, or how your past will affect your future, then you are finally living life free. "
146 " Of all the questions I have asked my readers this is the most important: What would you do if you weren't afraid? When you finally give wings to that answer then you have found your life's purpose. "
147 " Denial is the way people handle what they cannot handle. "
148 " Some people develop a wishbone where their backbone should be. "
149 " Love may be blind but jealousy has 20-20 vision. "
150 " If you hold onto a man hoping someone else won't get them you have learned how to be desperate, not wise. "
151 " The solution is so obvious, but for so many of us we would travel a hundred miles out of the way to avoid it, gather a thousand opinions on the way and take a pit stop in fear to check our map before we proceed through hell. Heaven was always a direct flight with no layovers. "
152 " Judgement of others and ourselves always comes from a place of fear. It is fear that keeps us from living authentically all that we say we value. "
153 " Time is too swift for those who fear, too long for those who wait, too short for those who finally find peace, but for those who love, time is eternal. For nothing is ever lost that God wants you to find. "
154 " Real women fight for something, other than their own emotions. "
155 " Never pray to be a better slave when God is trying to get you out of your situation. "
156 " I could crawl inside the lyrics and know each note intimately. They would claw at my soul, until I could no longer fight the emotions that took me to a place I couldn't experience. But, it was the possibility that made every verse a heart filled prediction and every beat a direction to follow. "
157 " Passion is not a reaction to an external event. It is the left over emotions from the internal battles you have won that propels you forward. "

158 " If you truly feel that self esteem and motivation have to happen first before you can make changes in your life, then we’ll probably be sharing walkers at a retirement home as we talk over what might have been. "
159 " Never give up on someone. Sometimes the answers you are looking for are the same answers another person is looking for. Two people searching together are always better than one person alone. "
160 " Often people that criticise your life are usually the same people that don't know the price you paid to get where you are today. True friends see the full picture of your soul. "
