All we have is today and more specifically, the present moment. We must stay rooted here.

Much of what we do is directed by our unconscious minds. Our work is to integrate our conscious and unconscious. 

As adults we must learn to take responsibility. It is impossible to be empowered without it. 

The more we learn, the more we understand that we know nothing. Most especially, what is around the corner. There is great freedom in this.

Accepting death is fundamental.

Creativity is one of the most powerful tools for healing - it roots us in the present and allows our unconscious minds to integrate. 

We must practice constantly: being mindful, being present, letting go, and self searching.

The language of the world is action. Commitment and predictability are essential. Goes back to the way that we treat others is the way we treat ourselves. If our word means something to us it means something to other people. 

The stronger the emotion, the deeper the roots. We must find our roots. 

To own our power we must accept our powerlessness. Our strength is in our vulnerability.

If you want something, let it go.

How we treat others is how we treat ourselves. We are constantly projecting our own self judgements onto others, as well as our trauma. We have to recognize that our foundation has already been laid, and all of the roots of our pain live there. The same goes for how others treat us.

We all have a shadow. We are all selfish. We all make mistakes. We must accept our humanity.
