"Fear is a natural reaction to moving closer to the truth." - Pema Chodron

"Moving closer to the truth" of life is a courageous choice! Ask yourself, “what has worked? Failed? What did I deny? Did I keep the promise of my True Self? Have I blamed others for my life, or taken responsibility?” When we dig deep within, fear naturally rises. Fear rattles our familiar definitions of ourselves but fear is an invitation to dig deeper. Courage: The True Self, the powerful Inner Voice, will protect us and deliver compassionate truth, wisdom, and understanding. Refuse guilt and shame; dig past the limitations of a small self and FEAR will have no place in our futures.
