If you had a person in your life treating you the way you treat yourself, you would have gotten rid of them a long time ago.

Your definition of who you are is your prison. You can set yourself free at any time.

Do something you fear, NOT to conquer the fear, NOT to accomplish a task, but to familiarize yourself with the processes with which fear protects itself, to demystify it.

When we come to that compassionate awareness that is not afraid of the fear, that can embrace the fear, we are able to heal the wounds of the child and the adult and begin to live the lives we've always wanted to live.

It doesn't matter what did or did not happen then. It only matters what happens NOW.

When you stop comparing what is right here and now with what you wish were, you can begin to enjoy what is.

If you want to feel a certain way, feel it now.
