Kindle Notes & Highlights
three things make life harder: not loving yourself refusing to grow not letting go
i kept running away from my darkness until i understood that in it i would find my freedom
it is through the observation of all that we are and accepting what we observe with honesty and without judgment that we can release the tension that creates delusions in the mind and walls around the heart.
when we observe our darkness by bringing our light of awareness inward, the ego begins to dissipate into nothingness and the subconscious slowly becomes understood.
it is not love if all they want from you is to fulfill their expectations
give pain the space it needs to breathe this is how we let go
ask yourself often: am i observing the situation accurately or am i projecting how i feel onto what is happening?
questions: am i being honest with myself? am i allowing myself the space to heal?
ego is self-doubt self-hatred anxiety narcissism fear of others harshness impatience a lack of compassion and illusions
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
the healer you have been looking for is your own courage to know and love yourself completely it did not happen overnight and it was not given to me by another i am the maker of the happiness and love growing within me
letting go doesn’t mean forgetting; it means we stop carrying the energy of the past into the present
let’s make s p a c e for deep healing in our world
we carry our attachments and pain in our bodies; as we let them go our bodies change
feed your fire cleanse your air tend your earth treat your water
forcing ourselves to be happy is not genuine or useful being honest about what we feel, while remaining calm and aware, is the real work
find the balance between being productive and being patient
it is the things you say no to that really show your commitment to your growth
“how did you free yourself?” she answered, “by embracing my own power.”
i cannot make you happy, but i can commit to support you in the creation of your own happiness
