People define their life by what they want versus what they have. People get fixated on something and they have to have it, even though that voice inside tells them it's not meant for them.

Your spirit is the part of you that seeks meaning and purpose. It's the part drawn to hope, that will not give in to despair.

Power is at the root of the human experience. Our attitudes and beliefs--positive or negative--are all extensions of how we define and use power.

If you betray yourself, you are no different from the people who hurt you. What's the difference between those people who hurt you and what you are doing to yourself?

You are far more than your personality, more than your habits, more than your achievements. You are an infinitely complex human being with stories and myths and dreams- and ambitions of cosmic proportions. Don't waste time underestimating yourself. Dream big... Use the energy of your archetype to express the true reason you were born. Life was never meant to be safe. It was meant to be lived right to the end.

Grant me the grace to dissolve my negative thoughts about myself today. I breathe the grace of kindness into my heart. And may the grace of healing flow abundantly to every one in need of help.

We are reluctant to live outside tribal rules because we are afraid of getting kicked out of the tribe.
