Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

I love this thread!!!!! Thanks for starting it!

I don't remember the exact quote but a few weeks ago when Rhonda was leading group she was talking about drama in one's life and she said something along the lines of You have choose drama or you can choose life but you can't have both. It was something like that. Anyway it was a woah moment for me.

This triggered what I once heard somewhere else, "you can be pitiful or you can be powerful, but you cannot be both".

I really like that one. It reminds me of when you fly on a plane and they tell everyone to put their own oxygen mask on before assisting others. Yeah, a lot of good we'd be to our kids if we pass out first because we didn't take the time to make ourselves capable before helping them.

I love those statements too!!! But it does add to the confusion when the LCs don't always stick to them.

My alltime favorite quote is:

You are alone in your head without adult supervision and you are running amuck - Iyanla
