“I’m selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best. – Marilyn Monroe “

There will always be people that will judge you for not being perfect, and like to point fingers if you make mistakes. Don’t feel you have to answer to them! We serve a purpose on this earth, and it is not to be liked.

Focus on your path, and true partnerships will follow.

“What really matters is not what function you fulfill in this world, but whether you identify with your function to such an extent that it takes you over and becomes a role that you play. When you play roles you are unconscious. When you catch yourself playing a role, that recognition creates a space between you and the role”.

“So people who are out of touch with the power within or the place where all power resides, the aliveness itself, consciousness itself, then they feel a sense of lack. Why are they not in touch with it? Because they are not present. They are not in the present moment because the present moment is that entry point into that place of power within. If you are not present you don’t realize that there is a source of power within and then you feel that you need to get secondary power from someone or some situation or other people. Then the ego plays roles to manipulate the environment and other people to get what it thinks it needs not realizing that all the thing it thinks will give it the power that it seems to lack, all that is already within you, if you could only be present in the now.” ~ Eckhart Tolle, from “A New Earth”

Some times letting go of that which no-longer serves us not only heals us, but opens doors to that which awaits. To be able to move forward, you must learn to simply let go of the past and surrender. To clearly focus will help us clear some of the resistance caused by the fear and uncertainty around our ability to survive, to weather the storm of life’s lessons.
