INcourage Yourself

BEattitude: "There are occasions in every life when one no longer wishes to be encouraged. Have you experienced one of those moments? The pain can be so great, there's no denying it and it must be experienced in all it's intensity. You can almost resent anyone attempting to lessen it by their encouragement or understanding. Counseling someone who is determined to live in the center of their pain is not only difficult.., it can feel futile. What's the solution?
We must learn what it is IN the pain that we love.
We may find our distorted definition of ourselves cocoons that pain.
Discovering our complicity allows us to fully release that pain..,
and INcourage ourselves."
