Each aspect within us needs understanding and compassion. If we are unwilling to give it to ourselves how can we expect the world to give it to us?

Embracing our dark side gives us a new found freedom to be with the darkness in others. For when I can love all of me, I will love all of you.

The unmet need that can get met right now is the need to be whole, to be both your magnificent, divine self and your imperfect, human self.

We choose to forget aspects of ourselves and then we forget that we've forgotten.

Live in the knowledge that you are a gift to the world.

You must have the guts to throw off the chains of modesty and mediocrity in order to be the light that the world needs.

Your life will be transformed when you make peace with your shadow. The caterpillar will become a breathtakingly beautiful butterfly. You will no longer have to pretend to be someone you're not. You will no longer have to prove you're good enough. When you embrace your shadow you will no longer have to life in fear. Find the gifts of your shadow and you will finally revel in all the glory of your true self. Then you will have the freedom to create the life you have always desired.
