Powerful Quotes by Mel ● Ego is a false sense of self about how you think you’re perceived or who you think you are. ● Your limiting beliefs aren’t who you really are. You’re just conditioned to believe it. ● At the end of the day, real happiness comes from within. Know that you can have those moments of happiness and moments of anger while knowing that, within you, you’re still safe and whole. Who’s to know if what you’re feeling is really real? All you really have is yourself. ● I always ask myself, “Is this serving me, or draining me?” ● It’s an illusion to think that we can control what happens around us. We can only really control ourselves. ● Heal your trauma, heal your nervous system. Heal your nervous system, heal your emotional body. Heal your emotional body, heal your energy body. Heal your energy body, raise your vibration. ● Love is the only thing that’s real. Love has the power to dissolve all that tries to oppose it. Love wins. ● We choose our own reality.
