Your suffering needs to be respected.
~ Bryant Mcgill
Your pain is reminding you that the gift of life is tender and precious. Suffering cuts to the quick of aliveness.
Eons of suffering, brutality and struggle have paved the way through the corridors of time to create this moment, where you exist as an exalted expression of life.
Avoiding pain causes endless suffering for you and others. Avoiding pain is really selfishness.
Do not be a go along, get along person when it comes to the suffering of others. Integrity is not a popularity contest. Stand for love!
They say our suffering is an inevitable part of the human condition, just accept it. But the greatest human skill is that of a choice maker.
When we oppose oppression, we lift our hands from the collective reins that empower such oppression.
It is in the center of a stable self-love that you will find the confidence and safety you want.
Wake-up! Think for yourself, be yourself and return to what is real.
Patriotism is merely deeply-rooted government brand loyalty.
The truth is now as it was yesterday, and as it always will be, that the world is-as we are.
Crisis is what suppressed pain looks like, it always comes to the surface. It shakes you into reflection and healing.
American corporate capitalism is a murder-suicide mission.
Uncommon success is found on the spiritual plane; you can't get there through common convention or following others. Hard work is not enough; many work slavishly-hard for little reward. Intelligence is insufficient; how many educated and brilliant people there are who fail utterly and completely. Goodness is not enough; how many meek and good souls are tilled into the earth like manure by demigods to fertilize their golden crops. There is something more — it is the unseen essential, and everyone has access to it.
Ambition can form an impenetrable barrier for those who fail to acknowledge what they already are.
Any defensiveness is a sign of failure. You can't move forward if you are defensive.
No marketplace, free or otherwise, is good when it fails to consider the basic human state of needs at every stage of life.
Lust for possession and greed has ravaged the soul of humanity like a great cancer, metastasizing throughout society in the form of a nouveau post-human, consumer hedonism.
Humanity needs heroic leadership from those who see all life as precious.
Life is nothing short of a phenomenon. In every sense life is mysterious and unfathomable.
You are a unique and beautiful expression of the mysterious gift of life and creation.
Taking advice is fine; by all means, be open-minded, but not to the point of allowing others to obliterate your uniqueness.
When someone is attacking you, they are coming to you for advice.
Gratitude is where self-love begins!
You set the standard for how people will treat and regard you, by how you treat and regard yourself.
The foundation of joyful independence is being content with yourself, self-love.
Lead your life with love and friendship, self-love as your own friend.
Even when something is not your fault, toxic blame has no place in your life. Focus on your own empowerment and healing.
When the storm rips you to pieces, you have to decide how to put yourself back together again.
If you avoid your truthful emotions and pain you will implode and contract into a diminished and feeble state.
The simple, humble, almighty, supreme virtue of love is the invincible fire of transformation for healing the world.
Your highest purpose and calling is often really calling for your own healing
Your body will heal itself, through gentle and peaceful cooperation with the inherent wisdom and intelligence within.
Guilt can interfere with our desires to move forward, to heal properly and to become a person who has the mental health and means of proper recompense.
Pain is like a healing emotional fever.
There is an intelligent healing process inside of you that knows how to absorb pain and transform it into wisdom.
Progress and healing involves seeing every person as not so different from ourselves.
When you succumb to cynicism, darkness, pessimism and sarcasm you are amplifying imbalance and negativity.
Your intelligence is a fire that can illuminate any darkness. Awaken and let your mind burn so brightly! You are alive for a reason!
To love your weakness, negativity and darkness is to accept half of who you are.
