“You must go into the dark in order to bring forth your light.”

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.

Each aspect within us needs understanding and compassion. If we are unwilling to give it to ourselves how can we expect the world to give it to us?

We are meant to discover our authentic nature-the state of being in which we are inspired by ourselves, turned on, lit up, and excited about who we are.

If you are afraid of darkness, you are afraid of your own soul.

I never liked sleeping in the dark. I have, like, twinkle stars around my bed, so it’s not so bad.

Pain is as dark as it is deep. But just like anything that receives enough light, it too will fade over time and become something, a little less ominous, and a little more hopeful.

Hope begins in the dark.

Light is much more than the absence of darkness. And you, my love, are much more than the absence of him.

The touch of your pale skin illuminates my darkness.

My childhood years were a balance of dark and light.

The kingdom of God is just behind the darkness of closed eyes, and the first gate that opens to it is your peace.
