Standing in our power requires us to let go of the need to make others like us & instead stand committed to honoring ourselves.
All of our suffering in life is from saying we want one thing and doing another.
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.
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.
It is time to search out your uniqueness, applaud and acknowledge yourself, and let your own light shine.
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.
The question "Is this an act of self-love or is it an act of self-sabotage?" is one you must consistently ask yourself if you are committed to having all that you want and all that you deserve. When you love yourself you feel worthy and deserving of claiming the gifts of this world. Self-love gives you peace of mind and balance. Self-love gives you self-respect and the ability to respect others. It gives you the confidence to stand up and ask for what you want. Self-love is the main ingredient in a successful, fulfilled life.
Notice what happens when you choose to embrace rather than reject each feeling that arises within you today.
We each need to become our own hero.
Unforgiveness is the poison you drink every day hoping that the other person will die.
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.
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.
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.
