You don’t ever have to tolerate people who treat you poorly. It doesn’t matter if it’s a friend, a family member, or a partner. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve known them for or how nice they may have been to you in the past, you’re allowed to call people out on their abusing behavior. You’re allowed to set boundaries about what you are and are not willing to tolerate. You’re allowed to vocalize how their abuse makes you feel. You’re allowed to share those feelings and experiences with other people. And if necessary, you’re allowed to leave and distance yourself.

The Only Thing that Matters is How Much You Love
The only thing that matters is how much you love. In the end. it doesn’t matter what your body looks like, how successful your career is, how big your house is, how advanced your yoga practice is, or what your bank statement says. Let me repeat this: “the only thing that matters is how much you love. Your purpose on this earth is to love. And love is a two-way street. We give, we get. With love, we will turn this crazy world around.

When you’re Hurt by Someone you Love Something Happens
When you’re hurt by someone you love something happens… The chemistry of your insides are disrupted and you’re never quite the same. Your heart has a tick to it, a skip in beats every now and then. Your stomach has a permanent knot in it for quite some time afterwards. And your soul, well your soul takes quite the beating. It’s damaged and scarred, but it doesn’t mean you’re dead. And then someday, just out of the blue, when you’re least expecting it… you’ll feel a little better. Then a little better, and then all at once, you’ll feel whole again…

Be the Person who Cares. Be the Person who Makes the Effort.
Be the person who cares. Be the person who makes the effort, the person who loves without hesitation. Be the person who bares it all, the person who never shies away from the depth of their feeling, or the intensity of their hope. Be the person who believes — in the softness of the world, in the goodness of other people, in the beauty of being open and untethered and trusting. Be the person who takes the chance, who refuses to hide. Be the person who makes people feel seen, the person who shows up. Trust me when I say — be the person who cares. Because the world doesn’t need more carelessness, any more disregard; because there is nothing stronger than someone who continues to stay soft in a world that hasn’t always been kind to them.

People Need to be Encouraged. People Need to be Reminded
People need to be encouraged. People need to be reminded of how wonderful they are. People need to be believed in — told that they are brave and smart and capable of accomplishing all the dreams they dream and more. Remind each other of this.
