“Most of the time when something goes bad—a marriage, a war, a run of good luck—you don’t know it. It’s like in the cartoons, only less funny.

“[On how she goes about trying to live authentically] Well really listening to my point of view and if I am on a set, say, that doesn't really value a woman's point of view, regardless of how they feel, continuing to give my point of view and try to find a way to be heard and not diminishing myself because other people are diminishing me. Because that, I think, is the worst temptation that, you know, you judge yourself by how others are judging you, and to fall into that trap is to walk into the realm of self-annihilation.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWayGivingFeelsTryingWellsSelfValuesFallWalksViewsHeardWorstJudgingListeningPoint Of ViewTemptationRealmsContinuingTrapsAnnihilationJudging You Author:Jennifer Beals

“Things do fall apart. It is in their nature to do so. When we try to protect ourselves from the inevitability of change, we are not listening to the soul. We are listening to our fear of life and death, our lack of faith, our smaller ego's will to prevail. To listen to the soul is to stop fighting with life-to stop fighting when things fall apart, when they don't go our way, when we get sick, when we are betrayed or mistreated or misunderstood. To listen to the soul is to slow down, to feel deeply, to see ourselves clearly, to surrender to discomfort and uncertainty, and to wait.” WayFeelsTryingSoulFallFightingWaitingListeningProtectEgoSickSurrenderUncertaintyLife And DeathBetrayedFalling ApartSlow DownMisunderstoodDiscomfortInevitabilityFears Of LifeMistreatedLack Of Faith Author:Elizabeth Lesser
