To journey without being changed is to be a nomad.
To change without journeying is to be a chameleon.
But to journey and be transformed by the journey, that is to be a Pilgrim.

I believe illness is a great teacher. It’s really like a healer’s training.
It’s a wonderful teacher if you can surrender and open to it. — Ondrea Levine

The current of life requires us to stand up, again and again, and we are not defeated when we are worn down, just exposed anew at a deeper level. We are meant to live between the two.
Sit quietly and bring to mind a time when you stood up to something you had to face.
Breathe deeply and consider in what way the experience wore you down.
Center yourself and name, if you can, how this standing up and wearing down changed you.— Mark Nepo
One moment’s
acceptance
of everything.
That is better
than a thousand years
of piety.— Anthony de Mello

Reclaim your identity!
Remember that before you were a mother,daughter, grandmother, teacher,
wife, artist, or corporate executive…
Before you were overweight, a recovering addict,
or a patient in a hospital,
you were a powerful, spiritual being of light
and that is who you shall be forever more.
Remind yourself of this daily…
hourly, if necessary…
and your life will transform
in powerful, positive ways.—adapted from poem in The Little Book of Light, by Mikaela Jones
