It's a paradox of the true spiritual path, but the more conscious we become of what limits us, the more limitless becomes our life.
Guy Finley
Image
Any form of measuring yourself by the unkind action of another towards you is like looking into a badly fractured mirror... and then blaming yourself for the shattered image you see therein.
