Why do we subconciously seek pain and suffering? Maybe it's the idea that angst, stress, anger, being abused or abusive, tough and roughed up is cool. There are those who slip into their pain, stress and illness like a comfortable robe. It becomes a pattern to externalize the pain rather than deal with it.

But we're conscious now. We're not what we were and we're not at anyone's mercy anymore. We are not victims, and it's time to take our power back. It's time to remember to stand in our Truth, to honor ourselves and come back into the kind of balance that is our true nature. It is time. Heal Thyself.
