Clarity & Connection (The Inward Trilogy)

by Yung Pueblo

one of the most important qualities to develop in life is determination. at some point you just have to put your foot down and say, “i am going to move in this new direction and no person or situation is going to stop me.” great transformations need a beginning.

ask yourself: is the connection real if there is no space to be vulnerable?

have you noticed that when you feel the urge to change someone, what you really want is for them to behave more like you?

how many times has everything come crashing down and left you feeling as though the world was over? now, how many times after grieving have you gotten back up, embraced the power of your determination, and moved forward into a new life?

true sympathetic joy—the joy we feel for the success of another—is the absence of jealousy.

the support we ask for cannot be coercive; our partner needs to voluntarily commit to it for the union to be healthy.

giving each other space to feel heavy emotions while staying attentive and actively supporting one another is a sign of real love.

how can we have a real conversation if every time we speak i can see in your eyes that my words are not reaching you? they stop at a narrative you have created about me based on who i was many years ago.

real courage is listening to your intuition even when society and people in your life advise against it a lot of advice comes from fear, people wishing you to stay with the herd and do the normal thing taking a calculated risk is not recklessness; it is fearlessness
