You are not soft.
You are not breaking
and
you are not fragile
despite
what the world
has told you.
You are not weak.
You are not dumb
and you are certainly
not failing.
You are not made
of inconsistencies;
theories, or incomplete
sentences.
No, none of that.
Please throw that madness
out the window.
You are a goddamn solider
in the middle of a war.
You are the goddamn
split second between
life and death.
Between what is certain
and what might never become.
You are the shooting star
that suddenly flashes in
the night sky.
You are all
the goddamn trees
in the world,
all the oceans,
and all the fires,
in one human.
You are what is left.
You are your ancestors'
legacy, their dreams, and
their aspirations.
You are the motionless rock
in a river full of lies.
You are.
You are.
You are.
Make your life count.
Fuel the fire,
and burn,
and be,
and become,
and do,
all the things for which
you were meant for. - Robert M. Drake

You are beautiful enough. Your stories of 'not good enough' are finctional novels written by a culture still hiding its light under a bushel of shame. The real story, your true autobiography, is one of inherent magnificence, courage, and divinity flowing through your soul-veins. So you decide which book to read, the fictional novel written by those who do no see you, or the holy book written by your glorious spirit. - Jeff Brown, Hearticulations
Don't beat yourself up for not knowing the answers. You don't always have to know who you are. You don't have to have the big picture, or know where you're heading. Sometimes, it's enough just to know what you're going to do next. - Sophie Kinsella

The key to wise thought is to sense the energy state behind the thought. If we pay attention, we will notice that certain thoughts are produced by fear and the small sense of self. With them will be clinging, rigidity, unworthiness, defensiveness, aggression, or #anxiety. We can sense their effect on the heart and the body. When we notice this suffering we can relax, breathe, loosen the identification. With this awareness the mind will become more open and malleable. With this pause we return to our Buddha nature. Now we can think, imagine, and plan, but from a state of ease and benevolence. - Jack Kornfield, The Wise Heart

Each of us has our own measure of pain. Sometimes the pain we suffer is great and obvious; sometimes it is subtle. Our pain can reflect the coldness of our families, the trauma of our parents, the stultifying influence of modern society. As a result, we often feel that we have been cast out. To survive we have to cover our heart, build up a layer of clay, and defend ourselves. We lose the belief that we are worthy of love. The mystic Simone Weil tells us, “The danger is not that the soul should doubt whether there is any bread, but that, by a lie, it should persuade itself that it is not hungry.”
Compassion reminds us that we do belong, as surely as we have been lost. Always remember to put your trust in compassion and self-love. From this comes a shift of identity, a release from the covering of clay, a return to our original goodness. In developing compassion start exactly where you are, whatever your situation. Having compassion for your own humanity and your struggles is critical. Let yourself sense a wish to live with greater kindness. Hold your own fear and shame with compassion, and let this practice open you to better self-care and to greater tolerance and kindness for others. - Jack Kornfield

Change is good...
Kindness begins with the understanding that we all struggle. - Charles Glassman
Try your best to make goodness attractive. That's one of the toughest assignments you'll ever be given. - Fred Rogers
"We immediately become more effective when we decide to change ourselves rather than asking things to change for us." - Stephen R. Covey
Change is about interrupting the habits and patterns that no longer serve us. If you want to meaningfully alter your life, you don't simply abandon a dysfunctional habit or belief, you replace it with a healthy one. You choose what you're moving toward. You find an arrow and follow it. As you begin your journey, it's important to reflect not only you on what you'd like to be free from, but on what you want to be free to do or become. - Dr. Edith Edger, The Gift
Freedom only comes when you decide that you don't need anyone or anything to chnage in order to feel better. - Abraham Hicks
Start over, my darling. Be brave enough to find the life you want and courageous enough to chase it. Then start over and love yourself the way you were always meant to. - Madalyn Beck
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow. - Melanie Beattie
Self- control is strength. Calmness is mastery. You have to get to a point where your mood doesn't shift based on the insignificant actions of someone else. Don't allow others to control the direction of your life. Don't allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence. - Unknown
"Whatever you're meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible." - unknown

You don’t need a guru to tell you what your path is. You don’t need the Akashic records to clarify your course. You just need to clear the emotional debris that obstructs your knowing. You just need to peel away the layers of misidentification. You just need to look inside of your beautiful bones. Your true-path is encoded within you, living at the core of your being. There it is, waiting for its opportunity to be excavated and humanifest. Helpers can support the clearing, but they cannot know which path calls you. They cannot read from your unique soul-scriptures. Only you can. You are the sculptor of your own reality- don’t hand your tools to anyone else. - Jeff Brown
Knock all the gurus off your altar, and replace them with a picture of you. - Jeff Brown

Whatever happens, however it turns out, celebrate your endurance. Honor what it took to get through. Don't guilt out over checking out when you needed. There's nothing wrong with hiding when you've had enough and for coming out to honestly speak what's been on your mind or share what's in your heart. It wasn't a disgrace to sift out what felt harmful. Remember your connection to soemthing loving, something merciful, something peacful, yet strong. Whichever way it turns out to be, mark this spot as your moment of truth. - Susan Frybort

If you inherently long for something, become it first. If you want gardens, become the gardener. If you want love, embody love. If you want mental stimulation, change the conversation.

You can't really run away from home. Because you bring it with you everywhere you go. There can definitely be value in escaping to antoehr geography, to protect yourself, to breathe, to get perspective, but you will still have to go back down the path and reclaim your childhood. Because it is still alive in you, still dictating your relational patterns, still controlling your choices. It must be owned. It must be confronted. It must be healed. And until it is, it's still the place you live. - Jeff Brown, Herticulations

"As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has--or ever will have--something inside that is unique to all time. It's our job to encourage each other to discover that uniqueness and to provide ways of developing its expression."- Fred Rogers

"Part of our Promethean and godlike aspiration to the control of nature is the concomitant obligation to care for nature and to feel nature. So really, my message here is a message of feeling. The ideas will come. The ratiocination will come. But what we have to do is feel our dilemma. If we could feel our dilemma and make other people feel our dilemma, we could move rapidly toward real solutions. We are anesthetized; we are a world dying under anesthesia for lack of authentic experience, authentic connection with the living world out of which we came. If we can do this by whatever techniques are available, if we can create a sense of community - globally - then attending that sense of community will be a sense of caring and responsibility. It cannot happen unless we change our minds. We have the technologies, money, the logistical ability to do almost anything in the human world but we don't know how to change our minds. We are angels with a Siamese twin who is a monkey growing out of our chest. And this was all very fine when there were endless environments to despoil and vast herds of game. That curious amalgam of the animal and the angelic that is our humanness could exist in that kind of environment, but no more. And for the past thousand years, the moral bankruptcy of Western civilization has become more and more apparent... We must build community, and we must do it in a short time. We've lost our compass. We don't know who we are, we don't know where we want to go. Our own lives are an experience of inadequacy and tension. We have lost our compass - but it's there." - Terence McKenna

If we can do this by whatever techniques are available, if we can create a sense of community - globally - then attending that sense of community will be a sense of caring and responsibility. It cannot happen unless we change our minds. We have the technologies, money, the logistical ability to do almost anything in the human world but we don't know how to change our minds. We are angels with a Siamese twin who is a monkey growing out of our chest. And this was all very fine when there were endless environments to despoil and vast herds of game. That curious amalgam of the animal and the angelic that is our humanness could exist in that kind of environment, but no more. And for the past thousand years, the moral bankruptcy of Western civilization has become more and more apparent... We must build community, and we must do it in a short time. We've lost our compass. We don't know who we are, we don't know where we want to go. Our own lives are an experience of inadequacy and tension. We have lost our compass - but it's there." - Terence McKenna
If we don't say yes authentically, we say yes resentfully, and that leads to far more problmes than if we'd said no in the first place. - Nat Lue

It's all within you. Everything you experience is felt within. I love talking to my older children about this. Seeing them think and understand a little deeper. Imagine the feeling when someone gives you a tight hug that lasts for over 10 seconds. Think about that hug. Now, where did the comforting feeling come from? The silence, love, comfort, security, bliss, joy, it all comes from within us. Then it is expressed through us in an action, the hug. Pretty amazing. I hope you get a wonderful hug today, maybe offer one?! Feel the gratitude for these amazing blessings we sometimes take for granted. Have a wonderful day everyone. - Positive Corners

Love is based on our capacity to trust in a reality beyond fear, to trust a timeless truth bigger than all our difficulties.
Sometimes love means standing firm.
Sometimes love means letting go.
Sometimes love means letting be.
Love blossoms whenever we step beyond our fears and rest in the generosity of the heart. - Jack Kornfield, "The Art of Forgiveness, Lovingkindness, and Peace"

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” - Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles"
