#LESSONUP:
(5:47) This legacy of invisibility, if silenced among women, is one that is so embedded into our culture and consciousness. Others won't see you, all of you, until you see yourself.
(6:44)… that inner voice is not an impression. It's not what you think you know. It is your guidance. It's a voice that is beyond intellect, the ultimate wisdom. And although it may seem elusive or tricky, it's always available and always right.
(8:01) A woman who is cut off from her soul's desires is cut off from the highest vision of her life, because women's desires are the threads. They're like the fibers of her heart.
(9:19) What if the fact that you had the desire was permission enough? Why would you have the desire in the first place if it wasn't meant for you, if it was impossible? When you focus on how they make you feel, which I hope they make you feel good, you get more of that.
(9:55) Delay is not a denial. If you're focused on the fact that the desire has not come to you instead of the desire itself, then it's you that's holding it at bay.
