“You are not responsible for carrying the pain, trauma, or shame of your mother and father. Release yourself from carrying what was never yours to carry.”

When we heal ourselves, we heal our families. When we heal our families, we heal the world.

It’s not your job to awaken your family.

If you have to abandon yourself to make the relationship work, that’s not love.

You can love someone and still make the choice to let them go.

Chasing unavailable people is a sneak way for the ego to avoid intimacy.

Heartbreak can trigger childhood wounds.

Be the kind of person you want to date.

Ultra-independence is a trauma response.

Endings are also beginnings with a destination unknown.

Maturity is willing to acknowledge what you are willing to shift, learn or give to create the kind of relationship you want.

Life isn’t trying to break you down. It’s trying to break you open.

You don’t hold place for everyone’s shit.

You don’t have to be “finished” your healing work before entering into your relationship.

Imagine what you could be doing with all the energy you give away to people who don’t want what you want.

Choose the path that feels lighter.

Power and energy games only exist in a relationship when the ego is at the wheel. When we heal our hearts, we can show up as mature beings in service to love.

The nature of impending fatherhood is that you are doing something that you’re unqualified to do, and then you become qualified while doing it.

I was brought up in a very ordinary family, in fact, a worker’s family. Both my father and mother were ordinary citizens.

I have no mother here; I have a bearer. Jah is my mother, and Jah is my father.

I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father’s protection.

If my father was alive to hear that, he’d turn over in his grave.

I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which, was that you can fail at what you don’t want so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.

My father used to brag that I wasn’t a ham, I was the whole pig.

Always be the best, my boy, the bravest, and hold your head up high above all the others. Never disgrace the generation of your fathers. They were the bravest champions.
