courage-to-be-oneself

The best lightning rod for your protection is your own spine.

We are God's chosen people.We are God's treasured possession.Let us rise in mighty strength to possess our rightful places as God's children.

Standing in the ring of fire, the eye of the storm, the vortex of pain and pressure is simultaneously the most vulnerable and most powerful place to be. Here we embody paradox. We stand our ground and surrender completely. Here we know the full power of the Feminine.

Those who find courage to pursue their dreams, manifest gladness of the soul.

May we love each other with brotherly love. Love cast out all fears.

It is your life, enthusiastically accept the challenge.

Be content with what you have. You have enough to live happy life.

Every revolution was first a thought in one man's mind, and when the same thought occurs to another man, it is the key to that era.

You can shine as a light in this world and you will be safe. The divine has your back.

We dare not talk of the darkness for fear it will infect us.We dare not talk of the fire, for fear it will destroy us.And so we live in the half-light, Like our mothers before us.Come to the fire, Feel it warm your skin.Come to the fire,Feel it burn in your belly,Shine out through your eyes.Come dance in the fire, Let it fuel your prayers.

Stop groveling, stop whining and start working!

You don't really love me, or you never would have treated me like you did. You were just afraid of letting me go. There__ a difference, and no one knows that better than I do. We were both afraid of moving on, me of what I really wanted. It brought us together, it bound us, but no longer. I am done with making decisions based on fear. [Nicholas to Grace]

What are you hiding? Is it something from others, or from yourself. Find your truth. The more you show up, the more you'll be found.

The point at which things happen is a decision. In stead of focusing on yourself, focus on how you can help someone else.

Have the courage to let some go, and sacrifice for some to stay; thus, live and make life your own way.

I think that many people will intentionally overlook all of the lifeless facts about their relationship with their significant other, just because they do not want to go through the trouble of breaking up, because it's safe, because other people expect it of them, because there is a fear of being alone... and in the process of doing this, they miss out on the life that is meant for them. Our lives must not be lived to be safe, to be out of trouble, to meet the expectations of others, and to avoid fear. On the contrary, our lives must be lived with courage, which can only be present if there is fear; our lives must be lived for what we know in our hearts is for us, not for what other people believe is for us; our lives must be lived even when it is not safe and even when things are troublesome. To die in full knowledge that you have pleased everyone safely, or to die in full knowledge that you seized what you knew was meant for you -- which way do you choose to die? Because that is the way you must choose to live!

If you least understand the essence of timely and courageously saying no to what you have to say no to, when you have to say no, you shall always say yes to what is due no remorsefully and count the cost of never saying no when you had to in pity though you shall know your __ad I know_ in the end.
