“I know what it feels like to be bruised; I know what it feels like to carry things around with you that never totally heal. There's closure and then there's stuff that's kind of like, Well, I guess it's going to be in the minivan forever. And you carry it with you and you continue on your journey with your minivan full of stuff, which I think most of us do.” ThinkingKnowsFeelsWellsKindStuffForeverJourneyHealClosureBruisedMinivans Author:Elizabeth Gilbert

“Anytime I get an acting role, I find a way to learn about something new, or heal a part of my life that I didn't know was hurting. I think anybody could benefit from taking acting classes. You don't necessarily have to want to be an actor or pursue the acting business. But just taking an acting class, you're going to learn so much about life and what it's like to walk in somebody else's shoes. It helps you stop judging people. It does something to you where you become empathetic to people's plights and journeys, and it makes you a little more understanding and caring.” PeopleThinkingHelpingUnderstandingHurtActingJourneyJudgingCaringHealSomething NewEmpathetic Author:Travis Aaron Wade

But as an activist, there's the outward, going wide therapy, where you get to realize at a certain point that talking about yourself gets boring. And it's also unhealthy to be so much into yourself. At some point, you have got to be able to look at the issue and say, "It's not about you. It's about a culture, a people, a nation, a family."” PeopleWritingTryingChildrenCultureRealizingJourneyBoringHealTherapyActivistAbout YourselfInner Child Author:Loung Ung

Every experience you encounter serves this purpose.” IfsMayPurposeLove IsSituationImpossibleJourneyAnd LoveLifetimeHealEncountersLove Heals Book:The Seat of the Soul: 25th Anniversary Edition with a Study Guide Source: The Seat of the Soul: 25th Anniversary Edition with a Study Guide
