Coming into who we are, is dependent upon embracing all that is desirable as well as undesirable.  When we acknowledge what no longer works we are in a position to change it.  (Sandy Thibault.  Selma's Spirit.)

 

Wishing you peace and well being as you face and embrace yourself.

Am I willing to take the courageous step of putting my own views, beliefs and mental models out there for consideration...and at the same time am I willing to deeply understand the views of another - and perhaps be changed by them?  (David Hutchen.  Leverage Points.  Issue 59)

 

Wishing you peace and well being as you open and listen.

We can only transform the world as we learn to transform ourselves.  As Carl Jung comments, "Perhaps I myself am the enemy who must be loved."  (Jack Kornfield.  Mindfulness/Awareness.  Shambhala Sun. July 2007)

 

Wishing you peace and well being as you open yourself to transformation with acceptance.

When you clear away the judgments, criticisms, assumptions, and beliefs about your internal experience, you discover that what is left is tenderness and the ability to feel things deeply.  (Susan Piver. Out of Fear.  Shambhala Sun. May 2007).

 

Wishing you peace and well being as you open yourself to your basic goodness.
