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.

The Toltec tradition tells us that we surrender a portion of our life force when we dwell on any unhealed wounding event from our past.

Ultimately, what we will find is that forgiveness is the key to reclaiming all the life force locked in past hurt.

Asking “Am I choosing from my divinity or am I choosing from my humanity? “ opens the door for us to experience realms of reality that we may never have visited before.

Pain is a spiritual wake-up call showing you that there are oceans you have not yet explored. Step beyond the world you know. Reach for heights that you never thought possible. Go to places you have deemed off limits. This is the time to take off the shell of your past and step into the rich possibilities of your future. God does not give us dreams that we cannot fulfill. If you want to do something great with your life-whether it's to fall madly in love, become a teacher, be a great parent-if you aspire to do something beyond what you are doing now, this is the time to begin. Trust yourself.

The greatest act of courage is to be and to ownall of who you are - without apology, without excuses, without masks to cover the truth of who you are.
