How True Healing Happens

‘The source of my pain wasn’t a difficult past, but how out of integrity I was with who I actually am, and the future I was here to fulfill.’

‘You must be brave enough to stand for a bright future that informs and initiates the growth required to manifest and sustain that possibility.’

‘Redefine who you are according to the future you’re called to create, rather than stay overly identified with the traumatized self you formed in response to past pain.’

‘Our inner work is compromised if we don’t also include the positive, possible future we are here to create.’

‘Not all wounds can be healed. Some just need to be held with love.’

‘Freedom came when I disindentified with the self I created in response to past wounds, and looked to discover a more accurate narrative of who I am and who I felt called to become.’

‘The invitation is to gather your courage, and set a radically unreasonable intention for a wildly fulfilling future in a area of life that’s been anything but.’

‘It’s one thing to pray for healing, light and love. It’s another entirely to offer yourself as the agent through which that goodness can happen.’

‘Expand your circle of care. Consider what’s at stake for others in you creating your biggest, most fulfilling life.’

‘The relationship you have with yourself is key to outgrowing who you’ve known yourself to be, and you will make little progress until you are skillful in the art of self-compassion.’

Our self-defeating patterns are our decisions, not our destiny.’

Prioritize Yourself: The Key To Personal Fulfillment

Put yourself first. It is your responsibility to put yourself first. Do not be too scared to put yourself first. Do not put yourself last. Do not be too hard on yourself. You are a human being. Beating yourself up is not going to fix your past mistakes.

Putting yourself first means you are not afraid to eat first. It means you are here to live your life to the fullest. It means you are not scared to rest when you are tired.

Yes, rest when you are tired. When you are tired, rest your mind, your body, and soul. When you want to reconnect with yourself, take a break from what you are doing. When you want to enjoy your conversation with yourself, just listen. Be comfortable with what you are hearing.

When you are stressed out, remember who you are. When you are alone, be with yourself. When you are in doubt, trust yourself. When no one believe in you, believe in yourself. When you are scared, do it anyway. Because facing what scares you is the only way forward. Isn’t it?
