Monday Mantra 121

June 29, 2015

"Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy – the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light." - Brene Brown

Our Story” might be words told over our heads or behind closed doors or right to our faces, by others; but have NOTHING to do with the true self within us. The story we need to “own” is the one we discover for ourselves! When we own that story with strength, insight, humor and honesty, the true path leads us out of personal “darkness.” Balance courage and vulnerability of self-discovery and we enter the “infinite power of our own light.
