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.

Being present means being completely aware of all that is. It means you’re not in denial, you’re not pretending, and you’re not avoiding.

We were birthed with one soul to take care of, and we must take care of it.

All real change requires risk. You must take risks every day of your life. You must get up each morning and ask...: What can I do that is different?

Notice what happens when you choose to embrace rather than reject each feeling that arises within you today.

Fear is the culprit that robs us of our greatest lives. And although it's mostly made up or a learned behavior from our past, almost everybody I've ever met in my life struggles with fear.

We and we alone have the power to change our lives, and we can choose to do so at any moment.
