Fear keeps us rooted in the past. Fear of the unknown, fear of abandonment, fear of rejection, fear of not having enough, fear of not being enough, fear of the future-all these fears and more keep us trapped, repeating the same old patterns and making the same choices over and over again. Fear prevents us from moving outside the comfort-or even the familiar discomfort-of what we know. It's nearly impossible to achieve our highest vision for our lives as long as we are being guided by our fears.

Vision lifts you up. It makes you smile a secret smile because you know that you have something very special to share. What is your vision?

A strong plan of action will yield you quantum results and will ensure that you don’t fall into the familiar patterns of your past.

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

Write down the area of your life that most needs your attention right now and then write out all the details you saw of your soul's vision for this part of your life. What will that part of your life look like? How will achieving your goal change your life? How will it change the life of those around you? When you reach your goal, when you fulfill that desire, what will it make room for? Write that all down.

We can't fight darkness with darkness. We have to find compassion, and embrace the darkness inside of us in order to understand it and, ultimately, to transcend it.

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.
