The hardest promise to keep is the promise to oneself. It’s because we don’t really put value in our own relationship with ourselves, nor in our own opinions. We like to be followers, because following someone else or a group seems more acceptable, and [following someone] is the least responsibility. When we accept others as more acceptable than ourselves, we’ve really lost ourselves in the mix of our thinking. The real value of YOU exists within you.…

“Create for yourself a beautiful ornate pedestal. For, you are the well-sculpted piece of adorned art.” –Penna

So, you’ve finally walked into your Divinity. By creating a beautiful ornate pedestal for yourself does not signify conceit. Rather, signifies your worth. Most people in life would rather choose negativity over positive words and actions, because they don’t want you to feel, nor know your true value. The real value lies within you, as an individual.

Did you know that there is no such thing as failure? Yes, you read correctly (I actually just learned that myself in my latest workshop)! There is absolutely no way to fail. Everything is done by Divine order. Everyone that you encounter…

“I am ashamed to think how easily we capitulate to badges and names.” –Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance

Time and time again I’ve been to concerts, sports games and even plays and watched how people will faint, cry, throw panties, bow to and even stalk anyone who has made a name for themselves.
