“Listen to your heart and trust the direction you are being pulled. Something inside you already knows what to do.” ~Spring Washam

“Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.” ~Helen Keller

“Only when we’re brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” ~Brené Brown
Our inner darkness is where we’ll find our brightest light when we’re willing to go deep enough to explore it. What light have you found in your darkness?
“You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” ~Marcus Aurelius
