Kindle Notes & Highlights
before i could release the weight of my sadness and pain, i first had to honor its existence
three things make life harder: not loving yourself refusing to grow not letting go
our minds can become like stars, powerful united fields of pure light.
it is not love if all they want from you is to fulfill their expectations
seeing yourself through honesty can be jarring and tough; it can even temporarily cause imbalance in your life
the dark clouds of rainfall are necessary for new growth
this is why growing our self-love is a medicine for our earth.
if you are far away from yourself, how could you ever be close to another?
the greatest gift sadness gave me was the motivation to transform
a real sign of progress is when we no longer punish ourselves for our imperfections
knew i was on the right path when i started feeling peace in situations where i would normally feel tension
trying to force ourselves to be happy is counterproductive, because it suppresses the sometimes tough reality of the moment,
dear moon, thank you for shedding light in the darkness, for helping me know myself better than before, for giving time and magic to the earth and order to our nightly stars. you are a mother who sees all, knows all, and asks for nothing in return.
Agreed
though the pain once felt unbearable and everlasting, the peace i feel today is a testament to the heart’s ability to heal
This means everything
letting go is medicine that heals the heart
letting go is best done through feeling, not thinking
it is the things you say no to that really show your commitment to your growth
“true power is living the realization that you are your own healer, hero, and leader. it is when you share your truth with compassion and peace.
sometimes people are simply meant to teach you how not to act in the future
part of being human is having opportunities to give and receive forgiveness
sometimes we go back and repeat an old mistake just so we can remember why we moved forward
I like this
