People inspire you, or they drain you. Pick them wisely.

It’s okay to cut toxic family members out of your life. Blood ain’t thicker than peace of mind.

Negativity will distract you from your goals, so don’t entertain it.

Blood relations cease to have their use if people related by it behave otherwise.

Retrieve your self-esteem so it is not dependent on how they do or don’t respond to you. You are enough. You are worthy.

A toxic family is even worse than a toxic relationship.

In your own life it’s important to know how spectacular you are.

I do not hate my toxic family members. I also do not need them.

A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep.

Know your worth, hold your own power, be you.

You have the right to put up a fence between you and your family, and the choice whether to include a gate.

When you start seeing your worth, you’ll find it harder to stay around people who don’t.

If you want to improve your self-worth, stop giving other people the calculator.

Calling this a family doesn’t make it a loving home, it just makes it a hateful lie.

I learned a long time ago the wisest thing I can do is be on my own side, be an advocate for myself and others
