“Como curar a relação com seus pais? Olhando de frente e com
honestidade para eles. Tendo coragem de admitir aquilo que você ainda
não conseguiu superar e perdoar; e expressando seus sentimentos até que
possa curar as feridas emocionais, e finalmente renunciar a vítima e
seus pactos de vingança. Só você pode fazer isso; só você tem esse poder.”
“¿Cómo curar la relación con tus padres? Mirando de frente y con honestidad hacia ellos. Teniendo coraje de admitir aquello que aún no lograste superar y perdonar, y expresando tus sentimientos hasta que puedas curar las heridas emocionales y finalmente renunciar a la víctima y sus pactos de venganza. Solo tú puedes hacer esto, solo tú tienes ese poder.”
“How can you heal your relationship with your parents? Start by looking directly and honestly at them. Have the courage to admit whatever you have still not overcome and forgiven, and continue expressing your feelings until your emotional wounds are healed. Finally, renounce the victim entirely, along with any pacts of revenge. You alone can do this. You alone have this power.”

Motivation is Vital | December 20, 2014
If we don’t have motivation, of course we’re going to sit there
feeling bored, irritated, and in pain. With motivation, we can dedicate
our lives: 'I am here, fully present, and I vow to wake up fully so that
all beings may be released from suffering.' It’s that simple.
