The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth they can accept about themselves without running away.

Leland Val Van De Wall

Understanding of oneself is the first act in establishing a transformative philosophy for living a vivid and a reflective existence. Knowing thy self is essential to designing and instigating a meaningful life that is self-directed instead of exclusively controlled by innate traits and external determinates.

It's true. You've come a long way. Your progression is natural, so don't be afraid to take the pressure off from time to time. Everything is working out just the way you need it to.

As long as you keep secrets and suppress information, you are fundamentally at war with yourself…. The critical issue is allowing yourself to know what you know. That takes an enormous amount of courage.

—Bessel A. van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma (Penguin Books; September 8, 2015)

"Your self-awareness in times of stress should serve as your third ear to listen to your body’s cries for help. Your body speaks volumes when you push it too hard. Take the time to recognize these signals and recharge your emotional battery before your stress causes permanent damage to your system." Travis Bradberry (Emotional Intelligence 2.0) [sumballein]

“If it can be destroyed by the truth, it deserves to be destroyed by the truth.” ― Carl Sagan

There's something about accepting yourself, your body, your mind, your personality. Recognize it. And before that, identify it. And then sit with it. And then allow yourself to love it, to smile at it, to really be it without shame. That's where genuineness starts, then authenticity. That's where you can start to build every single thing that you've ever wanted for yourself. And then pure, real, vibrant confidence walks in without even being asked to.

For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone; the shell cracks, its insides come out, and everything changes. To someone who doesn't understand growth, it would look like complete destruction.

Nothing I do is natural, realistic, organic or accidental. I'm never spontaneous, I'm completely premeditated.
