To Allow A Critic…

“To allow a critic to diminish one’s self-confidence is to say that their un-constructive criticism is accurate. We’ve all made mistakes, but we’re still here. You’ve seen some things, been in some battles and endured conflict. You are a survivor — you can still achieve your goal. Realize that now, in this moment of time, you are creating. You are creating your next moment based on what you are feeling and thinking. That is what’s real.” —Doc Childre

There Is An Intelligent Healing Process…

“There is an intelligent healing process inside of you that knows how to absorb pain and transform it into wisdom. But to heal, you have to give yourself to the pain. You cannot avoid facing yourself your whole life. If you avoid your truthful emotions and pain you will implode and contract into a diminished and unfeeling state. Growth and empowerment require reflection and facing the frightening, ugly, hard and unbearable reality. People are often clever masters at fooling themselves and not seeing the obvious right in front of them. One of the fastest ways to move through your pain is to get a grip on reality. Real transformation requires real honesty. If you want to move forward — get real with yourself!”

-Bryant McGill

The Reason Why…

“The reason why human beings fail to create real connections with others is due to the fact that they are not first real within themselves. If you want your connection with another to be real, then you must first make sure that you are real in yourself, thus giving the other person a genuine ground to anchor into. People color themselves different shades that do not match their own, and then they are surprised why they fail to create lasting relationships with other people! You must be the shade that you are, because the shades that you paint on will all wash off eventually, anyway. Be the shade that you are, and attract the people that like the real hue of you.” ―C. JoyBell C.

A Happy Life…

“A happy life requires a good amount of flexibility. The less rigid we become in our ways, the more easily we are able to flow with – rather than against – the current of this reality, especially as it shifts and changes.

Sometimes being stuck reflects nothing more than our unwillingness to recognize that what we’re doing no longer serves our happiness. Then it becomes up to us to make different choices. To shift. To be flexible, with ourselves, with others, and with life in general.

We can bend, or we can break. It’s up to us.

Let’s bend.” -Scott Stabile
