Many of us have read about and talked about forgiveness, and we understand intellectually why it might benefit us to let go of anger toward others. But we hold on anyway.

We each need to become our own hero.

Reclaiming the parts of ourselves that we have relegated to the shadow is the most reliable path to actualizing all of our human potential.

When you make peace with yourself, the world will mirror back that same level of peace.

Right now, there is a stronger, more vibrant, more inspired version of you that is wanting and waiting to emerge.

Resentments lodge inside you, causing you to lose touch with your inherent worth, your joy, and - more important - your God-loving heart.

You can’t just say that you’re committed to creating the best year of your life and expect it to stick. You have to make a conscious effort to allow this commitment to become part of your internal belief system.
