It Is Painful To Face

Even When Our Life Is Most Difficult, It Is Important To Remember That Something Within Us Is Keeping Us Alive- The Life Force-that Lift Us, Energizes Us, Pulls Us Back Sometimes From The Abyss Of Despair. True Spirituality Does Not Exist Without Love Of Life.

Anyone Who Really Loves You Wants You To Be Authentic. And Anyone Who Doesn't Want You To Be Authentic Doesn't Really Love You.

Doing More Of What Doesn't Work Doesn't Work.

It Is Easy Enough To Say, Be True To Your Values. But What If Your Values Are Irrational? Or What If The Virtues You Have Committed Yourself To Are So Much Against Human Nature That They Cannot Be Practiced Consistently? Be Careful Of What You Accept As Your Code Of Morality. Think Carefully About Whether Its Tenets Serve Your Life And Well Being. Exercise Critical Judgment. Realize How Much Is At Stake-your Life, Your Happiness, Your Self-esteem.

Suppose You Feel You Cannot Accept Some Fact About Yourself. Then Own Your Refusal To Accept. Own The Block. Embrace It Fully. And Watch It Begin To Disappear. The Principal Is This: Begin Where You Are-accept That. Then Change And Growth Become Possible.
