Nature's Guidance System

"Feelings of pain are Nature's Guidance System, trying to tell us to stop, make a change, take care of ourselves, nurture ourselves. But when you ignore the signal and instead try to make it stop by dulling the pain through alcohol or drugs or sex or food or whatever, you keep moving down the line toward increasing misery and suffering.

Your passions, on the other hand, are the most significant loves in your life. They arise from deep within the heart. Passion will draw you irresistibly along the path of your destiny. It connects you with the most profound part of your own nature. When you are aligned with your passions, you will feel expanded, open, turned on. Passion takes us up the line toward increasing joy and fulfillment."
