In the name of love—that is, living a life you're deeply engaged with—here are three short poems about starting new as your best (or at least better) self. If you want your life to be different, then you need to connect your desire to the people, practices, and beliefs that mesh with this new reality.

Every single one of these affirmations for transformation is an invitation for you to keep moving. Pick your favorite and live by it so that when you get sucked into the rabbit hole of comparison or doubt or regret, you’re awake enough to see it for what it is: a messenger of change.

Not just quotes about growing through the struggles—read these morsels of wisdom whenever you feel lost, unsure, defeated, or just plain frustrated with how the journey is going. Even if you feel good with where you’re at, it’s good to remember that life's always working on something new.

Friendship is a solid foundation for any relationship. Keep and carry this relationship advice with you to help you shine your light and be a blessing to others, especially when you'd rather not be nice. Showing up with love, whatever the occasion, is the best way to create a more loving world.

What hurts makes you stronger? Maybe; it depends, really. Suffering is not something I would celebrate or suggest, but, as I’ve noticed is an underlying theme in life, there seems to be some good mixed with the bad. Some treasure in the ruin and the potential for growth through suffering.
