“A courageous warrior knows that she is powerfully sourced by something much greater than herself and that she can release the judgments of others.”

The world mirrors yourself back to you. If you love, nourish, and appreciate yourself internally it will show up in your external life. If you want more love, give more love to yourself. If you want acceptance, accept yourself.

Standing in our power requires us to let go of the need to make others like us & instead stand committed to honoring ourselves.

Vision lifts you up. It makes you smile a secret smile because you know that you have something very special to share. What is your vision?

You must have the guts to throw off the chains of modesty and mediocrity in order to be the light that the world needs.

When we love all parts of ourselves, when we bless all of ourselves, when we honor all of our history and all of our insecurities, doubts, worries, and fears, we become the women that we always wanted to be.

Fulfilling your vision for the best year of your life requires thought and introspection. It is not much different than planning an awesome vacation. It takes time, discussion, planning, decision making, and an array of other skills.

Mary Allen has compiled a wealth of tools and resources – both inner and outer – to support you in consciously directing your untapped potential and creating a life that you love.

Whatever we refuse to recognize about ourselves has a way of rearing its head and making itself known when we least expect it.

It is only when you’re lying to yourself or hating some aspect of yourself that you’ll get an emotional charge from someone else’s behavior.

When you learn that you can trust life, life will deliver treasures beyond your imagination.

When divine consciousness enters, the shift occurs and you will be engulfed by what will feel like the greatest love imaginable – a love in which your soul realigns with your spirit and they meet together as one.

We can’t fight darkness with darkness. We have to find compassion, and embrace the darkness inside of us in order to understand it and, ultimately, to transcend it.

Compassion allows us to understand that, as citizens of the planet, we’re all in this together and that in order to ensure our survival we must hold and cultivate a new and larger vision of what’s possible for ourselves and for the human race as a whole.

The present moment is the pivotal point of power.

If we want to know what we’re really committed to, all we have to do is look at our lives.

Unforgiveness is the poison you drink every day hoping that the other person will die.

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear – not absence of fear.

Courage is exhilarating.

Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it.

You cannot build character and courage by taking away people’s initiative and independence

My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.

Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.

If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream.

If you don’t risk anything you risk everything.
