"Sometimes you have to tell people when you miss them. you have to let them know how you feel. it's good for the soul to pour yourself out but it's even better if you do so with someone you love."

PAIN IN THE BODY EXISTS TO WAKE US UP TO A PHYSICAL PROBLEM. PAIN IN THE PSYCHE EXISTS TO WAKE US UP TO A SPIRITUAL ONE.

We are not meant to live in chronic psychological pain, any more than we are meant to live in chronic physical distress. Pain serves as a signal that something about the way we're living is not serving us.

When this kind of pain shows up, we have to treat the root cause, not the symptom.

Forget the bubble baths and splurge days. Go deep with your life. Get aligned with what matters. 

Surround yourself with meaningful community and challenges that grow you. The pain doesn't go away through numbing. It goes away through conscious and deliberate design.

Heidi Priebe

…

You are allowed to be both a Masterpiece and a Work in Progress, simultaneously.

…

The reason you want every single thing that you want, is because you think you will feel really good when you get there. But, if you don't feel really good on your way to there, you can't get there. You have to be satisfied with what is while you're reaching for more.

Abraham-Hicks

…

Never in the history of calming down has anyone calmed down by being told to calm down.
