I want to leave you with two pieces of
advice.
The first piece of advice is don’t wait until
you’re ready. You’ll never be ready. It is never a good time. I don’t care how
many times you face the demons, the next one is just as scary.
Secondly, go only as fast as you can. This is
an evolutionary process, not a revolutionary process. Enjoy the process. Every
time you face the truth, it’s another experience of joy. Stop and appreciate
it, enjoy it. Every time you heal your fear through love, you feel a little
lighter and freer. Stop and enjoy it.
Feel good about the progress you’re making
rather than bad about how far you have to go yet. There’s a difference there.
It’s kind of like, if you keep doing it daily, tenaciously, lovingly,
truthfully, open-heartedly, then it happens. It just does. We can trust it.
It’s kind of like when you walk by a mirror and you see yourself, you my see
you need a haircut, my hair has really grown. You didn’t notice it, but it was
happening all the time. Well occasionally, you walk by a mirror and you look at
yourself and say, I really am walking closer to my path. I really am living
more to who I thought I was and that is a most glorious feeling! That’s not too
big of an adjective to describe it either.
I’m closing this thread with one last simple
quote and although it specifically addresses women, I feel it applies to all
humanity.
When a woman tells the truth she is creating
the possibility for more truth around her.
– Adrienne Rich
