This week, I have two for you in one sha-bang! (lucky you) I am putting them in the same post because they are related, and from the same person. And I needed both today.
"Spiritual progress is like detoxification. Things have to come up in order to be released. Once we have asked to be healed, then our unhealed places are forced to the surface."
-Marianne Williamson
This one really touched me because I am on my own spiritual journey. I definitely asked for it, and since then, so many things have come up and challenged me. It has been very difficult at times, but also rewarding. Like training muscles at the gym. So this was a nice reminder this morning.

The second quote
"In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart there is the power to do it."
-Marianne Williamson
This quote makes me think on both the macro and micro level simultaneously. So many things come to mind all at once, that the mind could become overwhelmed. But the second sentence causes a pause, and moment of reflection. Even in our everyday lives we can do work in ours and others' communities, and help heal the wounds of nations. Both of which we are in dire need of.

How are they connected? I want to be the best person I can be, in order to help others. I am on this journey, and the more I learn about myself, the more I learn about this world. And visa versa.
I not only need a big and powerful heart, but knowledge of self in order to wield my tools.
