It Is Only When You're

In Trying To Express Only Those Aspects Of Ourselves That We Believe Will Guarantee Us The Acceptance Of Others, We Suppress Some Of Our Most Valuable And Interesting Features And Sentence Ourselves To A Life Of Reenacting The Same Outworn Scripts. Reclaiming The Parts Of Ourselves That We Have Relegated To The Shadow Is The Most Reliable Path To Actualizing All Of Our Human Potential. Once Befriended, Our Shadow Becomes A Divine Map That—when Properly Read And Followed—reconnects Us To The Life We Were Meant To Live And The People We Were Meant To Be.

Compassion Is One Of The Highest States Of Consciousness That You Can Choose To Assist You In Times Of Enormous Pain.

If We Keep This Question In Mind While Planning Our Days, We Will See That We Actually Have Countless Opportunities To Add To Our Life Force. Being Around People And Places We Love And Doing Things That Give Us Deep Satisfaction, Taking Time To Digest The Events In Our Lives, Being Less Busy, Telling The Truth, Laughing A Lot, Eating Right, Exercising Regularly, Having Long Talks With Those We Love-these Are Among The Best Ways To Nourish Our Vitality. Our Life Force Thrives When We Are Completely Engaged In The Present Moment.

Every Important Choice We Make Is Being Guided By One Of Two Places: Either It Is An Act Of Faith Or It Is An Act Of Fear. Faith Opens The Door To A New Future.

The Greatest Act Of Courage Is To Be And To Ownall Of Who You Are - Without Apology, Without Excuses, Without Masks To Cover The Truth Of Who You Are.
