Don’t lie.
For what is hidden cannot be healed & the truth doesn’t hurt, shame hurts. Shame is terrifying. It drives us to hide, then ensnares us the moment we flee.

Shame is deforming. It’s a wound that doesn’t heal & a mark that won’t rub off. It overwhelms. It envelops. It crushes.

But shame is vulnerable. Shame is weak. Shame fears you. You are armed with intellect & will. Wield the light of truth. Confront your fear with honesty & compassion, & steal its power.

Whatever can be captured in words can be conquered with understanding.

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.

Before you go to sleep tonight .. remember to focus on what YOU DO HAVE .. versus what you don’t have ... too many see the reverse ❤️
