Being stuck is a position few of us like. We want something
new but cannot let go of the old—old ideas, beliefs, habits,
even thoughts. We are out of contact with our own genius.
Sometimes we know we are stuck; sometimes we don’t.
In both cases we have to do something.

Inga Teekens

I am willing to put myself through anything; temporary pain or discomfort means nothing to me as long as I can see that the experience will take me to a new level. I am interested in the unknown, and the only path to the unknown is through breaking barriers, an often painful process.

We need not wait for the world to become more mystical; the world is
mystical. Our problem is not that the world lacks magic; our problem
is that we don't believe in its magic. We do not show up fully for life,
and then wonder why life is not showing up more fully for us.

Marianne Williamson

It doesn't matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes. What matters most is getting off. You cannot make progress without making decisions.

Jim Rohn

Spirit Dancer · 07-19-2012, 06:41 AM

toward your soul. Each decision you make is an answer to the question,
"How do you choose to learn love?", "How do you choose to learn authentic empowerment--through doubt and fear, or through wisdom?"

Gary Zukav
