The Kingdom of God is inside you and all around you, not in buildings of wood and stone.

CRITICISM
If you understand who you are and respect yourself, you will not see criticism as a problem but
as an opportunity to become a better person. When you feel inadequate or imperfect, the criticism
is threatening and makes you feel that you have to defend yourself. When you are secure - not
perfect, but secure - you can listen to the criticism and consider its value.
-- Dr. Bernie Siegel

SPEAK YOUR TRUTH
Being vulnerable doesn't have to be threatening. Just have the courage to be sincere, open and
honest. This opens the door to deeper communication all around. It creates self-empowerment
and the kind of connections with others we all want in life. Speaking from the heart frees us from
the secrets that burden us. These secrets are what make us sick or fearful. Speaking truth helps
you get clarity on your real heart directives.
-- The Hidden Power of the Heart, Sara Paddison
FEAR
If you are dealing with fears and insecurities from old head programs, have compassion for
yourself. Just love your insecurities, fears and resentments. Release and forgive them as they
come up. Judging, beating or repressing insecurities just gives them power. Then you have a
pattern that never gets resolved. Recognize that your real security is built from your relationship
with your own heart.
-- The Hidden Power of the Heart, Sara Paddison, (c) 1998, HeartMath LLC

Live within the realm of your own happiness, and not within the expectations of others.
