When you fail to tell the truth, you are kept bound to the past in ways that devastate your soul.
Yes, I was mad at God because of the cancer diagnosis. I thought I should have been protected because of the work I do in the world.
To transcend limitations and form positive new patterns of life based on who you know you can be rather than who you were yesterday, you must give up the modes of thinking, feeling and behaving that only keep you chained to your past.
You are the mother, the father, the sister, the brother, the teacher and the guide for the soul that has been placed in your trust.
You are on a soulful path that asks you to step into the greatest version of yourself. It is a sacred gift to shine your brightest light, not just in your moments of glory, but each day.
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 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.

Unforgiveness is the poison you drink every day hoping that the other person will die.
Standing in our power requires us to let go of the need to make others like us & instead stand committed to honoring ourselves.
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.
We are meant to discover our authentic nature-the state of being in which we are inspired by ourselves, turned on, lit up, and excited about who we are.
When you make peace with yourself, the world will mirror back that same level of peace.
If you admire greatness in another human being, it is your own greatness you are seeing.
