as you can bring to the subject.

that represent your parents' opinions,

should become the foundation of your being -
your reason for living.
Take action on those beliefs.

It's an invisible energy with visible effects.
To let go, to just love, is not to fade into the wallpaper.
Quite the contrary, it's when we truly become bright.
We're letting our own light shine.
- Marianne Williamson
