Make a list of what is really important to you. Embody it.

For men and women alike, this journey is a the trajectory between birth and death, a human life lived. No one escapes the adventure. We only work with it differently.

As long as you are breathing, there is more right with you than there is wrong, no matter how ill or how hopeless you may feel. But if you hope to mobilize your inner capacities for growth and for healing and to take charge in your life on a new level, a certain kind of effort and energy on your part will be required.... It will take conscious effort on your part to move in a direction of healing and inner peace. This means learning to work with the very stress and pain that is causing you to suffer.

Dying without actually fully living, without waking up to our lives while we have the chance, is an ongoing and significant risk.

No one can listen to your body for you... To grow and heal, you have to take responsibility for listening to it yourself.

It's okay that the mind drifts away but you just bring it back.

Perhaps we just need little reminders from time to time that we are already dignified, deserving, worthy.
