This is so GREAT Danielle- we deserve EASE, quiet, PEACE, gentleness, LESSNESS is MORENESS and in my mental environment......because THIS IS THE BEST PART- and I don't want to miss out by being weighed down or too busy to notice!

[...] how about when you have a shift from working on your power instead of your problems? You can grow from power instead of just pain. Danielle LaPorte’s comes from an empowering place that I’m sure may have taken her [...]

"... you have to stop picking a fight with your true nature and decide to seek the joy that underlies it All." A real call to courage, Danielle.

I think the path to self-liberation does not always have to be one of acute personal suffering. The BIG question is not so much how much pain can we tolerate... probably far more than is "good" for us... but how much JOY will we give ourselves PERMISSION to experience? There's the challenge.

Thanks Danielle

Your final paragraph just gave me the courage to tell my boyfriend how much I love him. Out loud.

danielle, this post is a such a great gift. i am so thankful that i came across you because it seems that whenever it is that i actually take the time to read a post, it just hits the spot of where i am at that exact moment. earlier today, someone asked me what the word of the day was and i said "escape", as in i want to escape the reality of many of the pressures of my life at this moment, but also as in how to escape to take a few moments for me. i also said that i need a temporary roommate, and an old friend just called, and he needs a place to stay in LA, and now he'll be staying with me!

Yes! You are so right on with this. There have been many times when I avoided expressing my full emotions because of my fear that others would be uncomfortable with it. I've often fought the urge to cry, laugh, or express really powerful love or desire. I wonder what would happen if I allowed that fullness. I think for me the fear stems from the sense that I could lose control of it, that I might not be able to ride it out, that I could go crazy or lose everything. The full force of life is rather intimidating... How do we learn to ride it out so that we don't have to be fearful?
