Quotes about Emotion

Happiness is something that comes from our own hearts, not from other people.

Rejection isn't just an emotion we feel. It's a message that's sent to the core of who we are, causing us to believe lies about ourselves, others, and God.

And the lie becomes a liability in how we think about ourselves and interact in every future relationship.

Rejection isn't just an emotional feeling. It's a message that alters what you believe about yourself.
