Our Society Nurtures The Illusion That All

There Is No Quality That We Respond To In Another That We Lack. It Might Be Hidden Behind Some Bad Behavior Or An Old, Outdated Shadow Belief That Says We Are The Exact Opposite Of What We Are Seeing In The Other Person. But I Promise You That If You Are Attracted To A Quality In Someone Else, No Matter How Great, It Also Exists Inside Of You.

In Trying To Express Only Those Aspects Of Ourselves That We Believe Will Guarantee Us The Acceptance Of Others, We Suppress Some Of Our Most Valuable And Interesting Features And Sentence Ourselves To A Life Of Reenacting The Same Outworn Scripts. Reclaiming The Parts Of Ourselves That We Have Relegated To The Shadow Is The Most Reliable Path To Actualizing All Of Our Human Potential. Once Befriended, Our Shadow Becomes A Divine Map That—when Properly Read And Followed—reconnects Us To The Life We Were Meant To Live And The People We Were Meant To Be.

As You Continue The Work Of Acknowledging And Claiming The Gifts Of Your Past And Standing In The Power Of Your Present, You Are Freeing Up Enormous Reserves Of Creative Energy.

We Choose To Forget Aspects Of Ourselves And Then We Forget That We've Forgotten.

For When I Can Love All Of Me, I Will Love All Of You.
