And this A fully integrated person has made peace with their shadow
side. They both embrace and accept the duality of the light
and dark within their Self, knowing both comprise their
wholeness, their uniqueness, their oneness with all that is.
There simply are no judgements or comparisons, no labeling
one as good, the other bad. Only total acceptance of what is.
And this, my friends, is the place from which peace springs. ______

28. This, from fb page, “Abuse No More” Moving on doesn’t mean you have forgotten; it means you have accepted what happened in the past and choose to continue living in the present. Moving on doesn’t mean you’re giving up; it means you’re giving yourself another chance by making a choice to be happy rather than hurt. Through all the problems you have faced, the burdens weighing down on your shoulders, the pain in your heart, you have only one thing to say, “I survived and I now know better for next time.”

30. Those who mind dont matter & those who matter dont mindWhen you are down and in trouble, keep fighting. Don't give up. keep kicking. It won't help to wallow in self-pity, or curse your stars or play the blame game. Every adversity has an opportunity couched within. It is up to us to grab it. And what you do when the going gets tough, is what defines your outcomes.
31. The only way you will ever awaken is through the silence, not through analyzation of facts. Not by sorting out good and bad, but through simple silence, letting go. Letting go of all thoughts, all the hurts, all the dogmas and concepts. Letting go of these things daily.
