Trust Your Emotions

All the turning points I have ever experienced in my life have come after moments of clear honesty with myself or at least one other person about something that didn't "feel" quite right.

Hitting rock bottom isn't necessarily what it takes to make a change. Knowing you've hit rock bottom, you're feeling angry, bored, unsettled, disappointed, impatient, glum, or whatever it is for you, and having the courage to look that emotion in the eye, I believe, is really the first step.

All emotions offer gifts--even the ones we don't like so much. If we have the courage to receive them, they can liberate us far beyond anything else life offers. From being honest about our feelings comes the inability to pretend any longer, and the power to finally do something about whatever it is they are trying to say.
