Forgiving What You Can’t Forget by Lysa Terkeurst

“You’re perfect as you are, and there is room for improvement.” Zen Saying

“The opposite of play is not work, it’s depression.” Dr. Brian Sutton Smith

“Unused creativity is not benign. It metastasizes. It turns into grief, rage, sorrow, shame.” Dr. Brene Brown

“Knowledge is power, but knowledge about yourself is self-empowerment.” Dr. Joe Dispenza

“Miguel Ruiz in the Four Agreements says this: ‘Taking things personally is the maximum expression of selfishness because we make the assumption everything is about me. Nothing other people do is because of you, it is because of themselves.’ He uses the word “selfishness”, but I would use the word woundedness. Each of us has some narcissistic wounding from our childhood. That is, we are not totally and and completely seen.” Dr. Brad Reedy

“Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real, but fear is a choice.” Will Smith (After Earth)

“Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God, your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear our presence automatically liberates others.” Marianne Williamson
