So long as we use comfort and security as our criteria of success, we will fear our own intuitive guidance because by its very nature it directs us into new cycles of learning that are sometimes uncomfortable. Caroline Myss More Quotes by Caroline Myss More Quotes From Caroline Myss Imagine what a focused human being could do in a day to make a difference in this world. Caroline Myss making-a-differencedifferencesworld Life on Earth will never be fair the way we expect it to be. Caroline Myss fairsearthway The more conscious we become the more consciously we choose that which we set in motion to create. Caroline Myss positivityconscious For me the information has to remain incredibly neutral. It's what I would call 'ice-like' information. I receive very rapid impressions. I don't have to sit there and concentrate. Because, if I start to really focus, my conscious mind begins to apply data, which is not accurate. Caroline Myss dataicefocus You are in the depths of despair because you locked in on something or someone that didn't belong to you. I've met many people who have lost everything, especially in these times. People who survive devastating loss have the ability to let go of what they were doing, how much they were earning, and what they feel they are entitled to right now. They may well return to their former status, but their immediate task is to assess their skills and show resilience moving forward. Caroline Myss letting-golossmoving I do a lot of reflection. I do. I spend a lot of time in reflection and contemplation. I guess the way the old mystics used to do. I don't do meditation. That's not for me. It's not my thing. Caroline Myss meditationreflectionway That which serves our spirits enhances our bodies. That which diminishes our spirits diminishes our bodies. Caroline Myss diminishbodyspirit A compromise is done willingly and out of love. You don't go away thinking, "I betrayed myself." Caroline Myss going-awaylove-youthinking When you approach intuitive methods with respect, you become open to hearing from your interior channels. Caroline Myss methodhearingapproach To feel the suffering and then to know the pain of the unnecessariness of it. That right there has me in its grip. The only way through that is serious prayer. I can't get through it any other way. I've got to believe that that's making a difference somehow. I can't see the difference, but I've got to believe it does, because in some way it lets me sleep at night. My only other alternative is to become angry, and I can't go that direction. Caroline Myss painprayerbelieve People know when they've betrayed themselves. They are very much aware when they are not honest with themselves. They hear the voice that says, "You shouldn't have said that" or "You know that's not right." Caroline Myss betrayedvoicepeople People define their life by what they want versus what they have. People get fixated on something and they have to have it, even though that voice inside tells them it's not meant for them. Caroline Myss voicewantpeople I love hanging out with my friends and family. I really, really, really love articulating original thought. That's probably my core, my biggest buzz. Because then it makes me feel like I know why I was born. Reaching original thought, where I know that I'm perceiving something that only I have seen, and I need to incarnate that. That's it right there. Caroline Myss original-thoughtfamily-and-friendsneeds You know how we say things like "I just have to be true to myself"? What does that mean? Great people always say, "There's something I was meant to do." That knowingness is what the soul understands. You have fundamental agreements that you simply feel. You can't put your finger on them because they reveal themselves to you within the context of your life through coincidence, synchronicity, and obligations you can't get out of. Together, these things form the whole of your sacred contract. Caroline Myss agreementmeanpeople We're actually making not one but 30 choices at a time: Our mind is making a choice. Our heart's making choices. Caroline Myss choicesmindheart If you betray yourself, you are no different from the people who hurt you. What's the difference between those people who hurt you and what you are doing to yourself? Caroline Myss differenceshurtpeople Survival activates miracles when a person relies on the graces of hope and faith. Caroline Myss survivalmiraclegrace Expectations are usually predicated on the idea that the everyday things that happen to ordinary people shouldn't happen to you. People hold the idea of being ordinary in absolute contempt, so when they face an illness, poverty, or any kind of catastrophe, they say, "I can't believe this happened to me." And who did you think it was going to happen to - the woman across the street? It makes them think, "I must be on the wrong path." But what if something you thought was bad was the best thing that ever happened to you? What if that was part of your path? Caroline Myss believeideasthinking [You should] see everything about your life as a lesson. Ask, "Am I empowering myself?" Even for a tiny thing, like if you're in the grocery store and you're thinking, "Should I buy that?" And your gut says, "You know you can't eat that." If you decide not to listen, you've harmed yourself by blocking your intuitive voice. Caroline Myss blockvoicethinking Think about the number of times someone will say to herself, "I want to get out of this circumstance, but I'm too afraid. I'll lie about how happy I am in this marriage, and I'll put up a front." But she's betraying everything that's in her heart. She's making choices that are harming her, and that's why she's hurting. Her intuition is trying to tell her that. Caroline Myss hurtheartlying
