You can't remove that layer of pain by just saying, Okay, I'm not going to wallow in it. The only way to remove that layer of pain is to face what it says and to recognize it as the look in the mirror that it is, reflecting the things you did that you wish you hadn't done and the things you didn't do that you wish you had done.

To be a princess is to play at life. To be a queen is to be a serious player...The purpose of life as a woman is to ascend to the throne and rule with heart.

Enlightenment doesn't mean we were never wounded it means we've found a way to evolve beyond our wounds. Enlightenment isn't idealistic it's practical. What's idealistic is thinking we can live from our wounds, stay in our weakness, and ever transform the world.

Gender or skin color does not of itself determine the nature of a person's thinking.
Marianne Williamson
Image
In every moment we make a decision -- whether conscious or unconscious. Will I choose to open my heart, send love, withhold judgment and thus free myself from fear? Or will I close my heart, project fear instead of extending love, judge others, and thus bind myself to fear? The choice is mine and mine alone.

It is your thoughts and your thoughts alone that determine what's possible for you now.

There are clearly times when quieting down and bringing our energy back into ourselves is a step toward inner peace. Yet the most powerful life is not one in which we bring ourselves back to our center when we have spun away from it, but rather one in which we seek to live from that center at all times.
