When you choose to learn through wisdom, to evolve consciously, your fears surface one at a time in order for you to exorcise them with inner faith. This is how it happens. You exorcise your own demons.”

Herein, too, lies some of the courage that must be entailed in letting others learn how one has experienced or is experiencing the world.”
