When you are in harmonywith yourself, you'll be in harmony with everyone else.
People with hearts filled with love, peace, and compassion live in heaven.
When you are grounded in the present - feeling your feelings, listening to your body, tasting your food, and expressing your ideas - you do not build up toxicity. You digest your experience as you go.
Jung first gave us the term ‘shadow’ to refer to those parts of our personality that have been rejected out of fear, ignorance, shame, or lack of love. His basic notion of the shadow was simple: ‘the shadow is the person you would rather not be.’ He believed that integrating the shadow would have a profound impact, enabling us to rediscover a deeper source of our own spiritual life. ‘To do this,’ Jung said, ‘we are obliged to struggle with evil, confront the shadow, to integrate the devil. There is no other choice.’
It isn't what happens to us in life that creates our joy, but rather how we respond to what happens in our lives.
Challenge the person you think you are in order to unveil the person you are capable of becoming
If becoming your most extraordinary self doesn't inspire you, if claiming your greatness doesn't get you moving in the morning, if you don't think you are worthy of going after your best life, then dedicate this year to someone else and make it your best for them.
Our pain can be our greatest teacher. It leads us to places we'd never go on our own.
I have a choice: Do I want to align with the GREATEST VISION OF MYSELF or Do I want to align with my EXCUSES?
What you can't be with, won't let you be.
Resentments lodge inside you, causing you to lose touch with your inherent worth, your joy, and - more important - your God-loving heart.
There is nothing else for you to do but to truly love and nourish the emotionally and spiritually starved parts of you that are crying out for your attention. Are you loving all of yourself?
The shadow is not a problem to be solved or an enemy to be conquered, but a fertile field to be cultivated. When we dig our hands into its rich soil we will discover the potent seeds of the people we most desire to be.
A strong plan of action will yield you quantum results and will ensure that you don’t fall into the familiar patterns of your past.
