Dragons and Princesses




"Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses
who are only waiting for us to act just once with beauty and courage."
Rainer Maria Rilke


It is a costly misconception to believe we are a better person if we acquiesce to someone else.  It may appear to be the easy way out, but the damage we do to our lovely selves triggers lack of self-respect, self-worth, and additional stress.

When we exert our personal power, we might fear the consequences; but in truth, we are frequently surprised by the strength it brings.  The more we practice our truth, the passages of time become more uplifting and less painful.  Our lives become enhanced with a better sense of self as we embrace both beauty and courage.

If we shift our perspective to consider options, instead of repeating the same patterns, we create a different scenario which may result in a new insight.  A new insight that can be carried into other areas of our lives, opening even more room for growth.
