Find solace in touching your deepest wounds. There you will find yourself. There you will find peace.
It's okay to say "it's not okay."
Even though we try to fake it from time to time, there are some situations that are really not okay.
There are going to be situations in life where you're really not fine and even more importantly, you don't have to pretend that you're fine.
We are all human and therefore that makes us open to wounding. it's a great tragedy to pretend that you are beyond being hurt.
We all are. That's what makes us human.
While we all have different lives, we all suffer in very similar ways and all have cuts and bruises on our hearts.
Life would be very boring if there weren't any opportunities to get hurt. But that's what makes life worth living - the ability to risk for the reward and to recover when we lose.
But you never get anywhere by being fake. You have to be real. You have to be so real that the world sees you for who you truly are.
Every time you try to pretend, your soul knows your lying. You're cheating on your true nature and are completely out of alignment with what you know is right.
The greatest healing is done with honesty, compassion, and love towards yourself. If we can turn our compassion towards ourselves and heal old wounds, we allow ourselves to take on the pains of others with compassion as well.
However, if we avoid taking this journey, that's when your deepest suffering continues.
Healing is done when you head straight into the dark. Straight into the shadows of what you're scared of - lantern in hand - willing to shed light onto your fears.
Because in the end, if you take this journey, you will find out that the fears you had weren't so big at all. There were just shadows dancing in the night trying to make you believe they were something else.
Don't worry about heading into the dark tunnel of fear...
You are the light.
This light will illuminate everything you've ever feared.
