When you fail to tell the truth, you are kept bound to the past in ways that devastate your soul.
Everything that comes our way is so we can grow and evolve, and if we look at it like that, then we have the great opportunity to step into who we always wanted to be.
Why can't we see everyone and everything as God, as a part of the Divine? It is because we don’t see ourselves this way.
Whatever we refuse to recognize about ourselves has a way of rearing its head and making itself known when we least expect it.
As you step into your limitless self, you might be confronted with old habits and patterns that are not necessarily based in truth. These old ways of being show up because you have repeated many of them thousands of times.
Anger, if used properly, might be for a cause, like helping feed children or stopping abuse somewhere. When we understand that every quality has importance and value, then we open up to this. Shining a light on these shadow qualities gives it balance.
Real change happens when you feel genuinely inspired, turned on by possibility and unwilling to settle for anything less.
Beneath the surface of your ego's insatiable cravings, your authentic desires are waiting patiently for you to acknowledge, claim and express them.
Devotion begins at home, inside your own awareness.
While your past can inform you and your future can inspire you, the moment of choice exists in the here and now.
It is clear to me that one of the biggest obstacles we face as human beings is the pain we put ourselves through when we resist and wrestle with our emotions.
Growth is usually uncomfortable. If you're looking for comfort, you will more than likely feel tired and old earlier than you want, and the misery of your caged soul will always be looming nearby.
For your soul's sake, invoke the agent of change called risk, which ensures that things will not be the same tomorrow as they are today. All real change requires risk.
No one can deny who you are unless you are, in some way, minimizing the power and the force of your divine substance.
