If you're living completely on your own, break out of solitary confinement. Seek to understand others, and help them understand you
Do whatever it takes to convey your essential self
I don't believe that there are no spiritual beings around us. I don't know what to call them, I don't know how they work. But I know they're there
You are lovable. Can you show me any baby in any nursery who isn't priceless? No. There's no such thing as a worthless newborn. And the essential value that was born into brand-new-baby you can never be extinguished. This means that even if you think you're being absolutely honest, believing yourself to be anything other than astonishing, incomparable, and infinitely precious makes you a habitual liar.
Your first daily priority should be stillness, attention to what you really know and what you really feel.
Dawn Kotzer is the kind of coach who can see beauty and wisdom in circumstances that seem ugly and chaotic. She's kind, genuine and honest, willing and able to see where her clients get stuck and gently help them recover their freedom. Better than a coach who gives you the answers, Dawn will help you find the answers to your life's dilemmas that are already within you.

Learning to spot narcissists and deal with their destructive behavior can save you the world of hurt that awaits anyone who mistakes the near enemy for a friend.
I now believe that bêtes noires usually attack because we're thwarting our own destinies. Calming the beast turns us toward our best lives.
If you begin to face your fears, something bittersweet is going to happen to you: You'll grow up.
You can't stay well without telling--and living--the truth.
If you're a bit spongy, vulnerable to the unsettling energy of others, count yourself lucky. You've been given an incentive to armor up, to consciously screen out the ubiquitous stresses that afflict humanity.
