I know this may sound crazy but whatever....I tune into Oprah's OWN network when she has her Life Class on. I've had a few "aha' moments while taking this class. Last night, I had one hell of an "aha" moment but I found what was being taught to be very much true. I've often discussed my views on friendships and last night's class actually made me feel that my feelings are valid and there are people out there who also share my same view. What I want to share here are some quotes from Iyanla Vanzant. I think that we all can relate to these quotes whether we've been the gossiper, gossipee or the listener.
10 Takeaways from "Terrible Things Women Do To Each Other" They're words of wisdom that could help strengthen, heal and grow the important female relationships in your life.
1. "The way to achieve your own success is to be willing to help somebody else get it."
2. "When you gossip, you hex yourself. Because I guarantee you if you do it, its coming back on you." AHA..so true I see it when people gossip about other people and then they get attitudes when they hear people talking about them..
3. "Comparison is an act of violence against self." AHA.. when we see photos of women with "banging" bodies and we think why can't we have a body like them?
4. "The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are."
5. "Begin within. If it shows up in your life, it's coming to tell you something about you that you're acting like you don't know. Something about yourself, or your relationship with God."
6. "People come into our life for a reason, a season or a lifetime."
7. "Trust yourself enough to know who you can trust."
8. " Men think in headlines; women think in print."
9. "If it's not your story to tell, you don't tell it." AFREAKINMEN!
10. "Gossip is when you have a malice intent or mindless, third-party conversation to someone about someone, something you haven't said to that someone."
