Avoiding pain causes endless suffering for you and others. Avoiding pain is really selfishness.
Some people run from pain their whole lives, and what pain they do not digest they inflict upon others.
It is tragic the way fearful people put all of their fears and insecurities into others; the way they strangle their dreams — often in the name of love.
The only end to your pain is through fully consuming it and digesting it; otherwise it will consume you.
The biggest liar you will ever meet is yourself. It is amazing the lies we tell ourselves because of fear.
When you are avoiding your pain you are really only avoiding your growth.
Crisis is what suppressed pain looks like; it always comes to the surface. It shakes you into reflection and healing.
Real transformation requires real honesty. If you want to move forward — get real with yourself.
One of the fastest ways to move through your pain is to get a grip on reality.
Growth and empowerment require reflection and facing the frightening, ugly, hard and unbearable reality.
