that we imagine needs healing is not the part we create from; that part is far deeper and stronger. The part we create from can't be touched by anything our parents did, or society did. That part is unsullied, uncorrupted; soundproof, waterproof, and bulletproof. In fact, the more troubles we've got, the better and richer that part becomes.
The part that needs healing is our personal life. Personal life has nothing to do with work. Besides, what better way of healing than to find our center of self-sovereignty? Isn't that the whole point of healing?...There never was a moment, and never will be, when we are without the power to alter our destiny."

THE WAR OF ART
For some reason, flipped the pages today and landed on this. One of my favorite books that I have given to one too many people. Brilliant human being and I feel so fortunate to say that this man crossed my path years after I read his book. Happy to say that I know him by his first name and has been one those people that I randomly cross paths with and has helped me more that once to clarify where I needed to go next creatively.
A great book is a book that every time you read you discover a different truth in it. A different truth about who you are. As we get older, we fall, we get hurt, we get up and we evolve. That is the gift of life, the beauty of it. Every time I feel lost, I think to myself "You're not lost, you're right here." and start laughing by myself. Some times it takes longer to register, some times faster. But at the end of the day, life is life. And without pain there's no evolving!
