If we want a new future that does not look like our past, we must make new choices in the present.
It isn't what happens to us in life that creates our joy, but rather how we respond to what happens in our lives.
Like the lotus flower that is born out of mud, we must honor the darkest parts of ourselves and the most painful of our life’s experiences, because they are what allow us to birth our most beautiful self.
Live in the knowledge that you are a gift to the world.
Fear keeps us rooted in the past. Fear of the unknown, fear of abandonment, fear of rejection, fear of not having enough, fear of not being enough, fear of the future-all these fears and more keep us trapped, repeating the same old patterns and making the same choices over and over again. Fear prevents us from moving outside the comfort-or even the familiar discomfort-of what we know. It's nearly impossible to achieve our highest vision for our lives as long as we are being guided by our fears.
Your life will be transformed when you make peace with your shadow. The caterpillar will become a breathtakingly beautiful butterfly. You will no longer have to pretend to be someone you're not. You will no longer have to prove you're good enough. When you embrace your shadow you will no longer have to life in fear. Find the gifts of your shadow and you will finally revel in all the glory of your true self. Then you will have the freedom to create the life you have always desired.
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.
If you admire greatness in another human being, it is your own greatness you are seeing.
When you make peace with yourself, the world will mirror back that same level of peace.
Embracing our dark side gives us a new found freedom to be with the darkness in others. For when I can love all of me, I will love all of you.
It is time to search out your uniqueness, applaud and acknowledge yourself, and let your own light shine.
When you invoke the agent of change called acceptance, you must accept all that you are, all that you've been and all that you will be in the future.
The world mirrors yourself back to you. If you love, nourish, and appreciate yourself internally it will show up in your external life. If you want more love, give more love to yourself. If you want acceptance, accept yourself.
Challenge the person you think you are in order to unveil the person you are capable of becoming
Right now, there is a stronger, more vibrant, more inspired version of you that is wanting and waiting to emerge.
Unforgiveness is the poison you drink every day hoping that the other person will die.
When you learn that you can trust life, life will deliver treasures beyond your imagination.
Before you begin your day: Take a moment of silence and meditation, and give yourself permission to have all that you desire.
There is nothing more beautiful than a warrior woman standing in her power, courage, and confidence. From this place of strength, she is capable of loving the world in a way that transforms pain into promise…and hell into heaven.
All of our suffering in life is from saying we want one thing and doing another.
To live in the light of a new day and an unimaginable and unpredictable future, you must become fully present to a deeper truth - not a truth from you head but a truth from your heart; not a truth from your ego but a truth from the highest source. You have to be willing to be deeply honest with yourself about the shape your life is in each day.
Remember, all the answers you need are inside of you; you only have to become quiet enough to hear them.
Pain is a spiritual wake-up call showing you that there are oceans you have not yet explored. Step beyond the world you know. Reach for heights that you never thought possible. Go to places you have deemed off limits. This is the time to take off the shell of your past and step into the rich possibilities of your future. God does not give us dreams that we cannot fulfill. If you want to do something great with your life-whether it's to fall madly in love, become a teacher, be a great parent-if you aspire to do something beyond what you are doing now, this is the time to begin. Trust yourself.
Whatever we refuse to recognize about ourselves has a way of rearing its head and making itself known when we least expect it.
If we want to know what we're really committed to, all we have to do is look at our lives.
