Your total intelligence knows exactly what to do, because you were made to weather the storms of life.
~ Bryant Mcgill
Your greatest moments of challenge are a call to defy your timid habits of safety and rush out into life.
We are all made complete by our pain.
Everything in life will attack you if it senses your fear; animals, people — but faithful confidence wards off all manner of evil.
You are moving forward one way or another.
When the storm rips you to pieces, you get to decide how to put yourself back together again.
You have to have faith if you want to make it out of the woods. Faith is your only hope for deliverance.
If your options are closing-in around you and you feel panicked, scared and helpless, this is the time for action.
Accept that you can and will do what you must do, to take good care of yourself.
So stretch! Reach for it. Like falling down stairs, where your inner-genius takes over and saves you — your instincts are ready to serve you.
You have put yourself at risk to activate your instinctual genius.
Being broken open by the storm is your only hope.
Fear is always death. Faith is life. Have faith and your victory is assured.
Painful truth is better than a pleasant lie.
The further you are challenged and threatened, the more your warrior heart will emerge.
The truth only comes if you are willing to face some really unpleasant things about yourself.
Even the softest and sweetest heart was made by design for extreme battle.
To heal, you have to give yourself to the pain. You cannot avoid facing yourself your whole life.
Your soul has a resiliency and a capacity to endure suffering that is beyond anything you can imagine.
Fear is a prison where you are the jailer. Free yourself!
Big mistakes are an outstanding opportunity to showcase your ability to recover and have grace under pressure.
The bigger the mistake the bigger the opportunity.
Most mistakes which seem huge in the heat of the moment are quickly forgotten.
Anything you want is just beyond your fear.
One of the fastest ways to move through your pain is to get a grip on reality.
When you truly face your pain you will only see yourself. Your fear was always you.
When you are avoiding your pain you are really only avoiding your growth.
The only end to your pain is through fully consuming it and digesting it, otherwise it will consume you.
Your pain was always a part of a plan to open your heart to love.
Your hard journey has had a great purpose!
The tides of change have great purpose in our lives.
Growth and empowerment requires reflection and facing the frightening, ugly, hard and unbearable reality.
The truth can do years of work in seconds.
Once you let the truth loose it is like setting a fire that you can't stop.
Let the fires of truth burn away your false life and your excuses, fears, blaming, doubts and illusions of insignificance.
The truth is, I can choose to view tough times as growing times, I can choose to see aging as seasoning and I can choose to focus on whatever good there is to be found in living. I choose. After all, it’s my point of view.
~ Steve Goodier
The way surviving hard winters makes a tree grows stronger, the growth rings inside it tighter

Knowing your feelings won't change the facts, but knowing the facts can change your feelings.
~ Marlene Chism
Some of the most amazing people in the world were not perfect; they were scarred by suffering, hardships, losses and imperfections.
Allow your pain to cleanse you and burn away what needs to die.
