We are not meant to stay wounded. We are supposed to move through our tragedies and challenges and to help each other move through the many painful episodes of our lives. By remaining stuck in the power of our wounds, we block our own transformation. We overlook the greater gifts inherent in our wounds - the strength to overcome them and the lessons that we are meant to receive through them. Wounds are the means through which we enter the hearts of other people. They are meant to teach us to become compassionate and wise.

A compromise is done willingly and out of love. You don't go away thinking, "I betrayed myself."

Knowing that every single day is so filled with potential - you cannot wait for life to give you anything. You have no right to feel entitled. You are not entitled to anything.

Spirituality on the other hand, is a chosen path of developing intimate relationships with God. It's chosen, it's nurtured, and it's optional.

The dark night of the soul is a journey into light, a journey from your darkness into the strength and hidden resources of your soul.

The spiritual test inherent in all our lives is the challenge to discover what motivates us to make the choices we do, and whether we have faith in our fears or the Divine.

We're actually making not one but 30 choices at a time: Our mind is making a choice. Our heart's making choices.
