Wayne Dyer, There s a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem
The truth is the light. Practice this truth when helping others and always be totally truthful about your life such as immoral or toxic behaviors. If you are totally honest with yourself, and admit your frailties despite your outer persona, gradually and surely, you will make the changes toward a faster/higher spiritual energy in which those shadows cannot survive. No one said it better than William Shakespeare: To thine own self be true.
Marianne Williamson
Honesty with ourselves and God, and the willingness to be healed by Him, form the crux of the pilgrim s journey.
Pema Chodron, The Places That Scare You
When emotional distress arises uninvited, we let the story line go and abide with the energy. This is a felt experience, not a verbal commentary on what is happening. We can feel the energy in our bodies. If we can stay with it, neither acting it out nor repressing it, it wakes us up.
Sue Patton Thoele, The Woman's Book of Confidence
One of the best ways to ensure fulfilling relationships is to be confident of who we are and have an honest and supportive relationship with ourselves. Why is this so important? Because to the extent that we don't know ourselves or are blind to our vulnerabilities and prejudices, we will unknowingly project those shortcomings onto our relationships with others.
Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course
The Holy Spirit residing within is God's gift to us, demonstrating God's full and unconditional love. All of our personal qualities, good or bad, are acceptable to God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus. It's our lesson to learn, and then practice, every opportunity that's available, this same acceptance of ourselves. When we do, we'll begin to feel total acceptance of others, too. "What I see is who I am today."
