“A spiritually optimistic point of view holds that the universe is woven out of a fabric of love. Everything that is happening is ultimately for the good if we're willing to face it head-on and use our adversities for soul growth.” IfsSoulUseFacesUniverseGrowthViewsWillingHappeningsOptimismEncouragementAdversityPoint Of ViewOptimisticFabricWoven Author:Joan Z.

“I believe one of our souls' major purposes is to know, love, and express our authentic selves. To live the life and be the person we were created to be. However, our true selves only emerge when it's safe to do so. Self-condemnation, shame, and guilt send your true nature into hiding. It's only in the safety of gentle curiosity, encouragement, and self-love that your soul can bloom as it was created to do.” KnowsBelievePersonsSoulSelfPurposeI BelieveSelf LoveSafeMajorsEncouragementShameSafetyGuiltCuriosityAuthenticityYour SoulLive LifeGentleHidingTrue SelfTrue NatureCondemnationAuthentic SelfShame And Guilt Author:Sue Thoele
“What sun is there within us that shoots his rays with so sudden a vigor? To see the soul flash in the face at this rate one would think would convert an atheist.
