Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Kathy Caprino
From Kathy's book Breakdown, Breakthrough (www.breakdownbreakthrough.com):
-
“Follow the thing that you love more than yourself, the thing that makes you more than your human body and your human frailties. Something has to make you want you to be bigger than you are. Find out what that is, what you were marked for, let go of your fears, worries and your ego, and just do it. Help will come to you when you do.”
-
Money is energy that flows when you flow. Connect with what you long to do, balance that with what you need to, and let money be a helper, supporter, and respected friend. Clear away beliefs and actions that keep you angry, resistant, and unsupported. It’s up to you to do this, and you can.
-
You are here now to support and assert the positive and powerful person you are and what you believe. Suppression is a lesson from your life that is waiting to be healed and overcome.
-
You are a multi-faceted individual. Your life is an intricate mosaic, with many patterns, colors, and dimensions that enhance each other. Avoid over-identification with any one role, function, or aspect of yourself, and remember how richly varied you are.
-
You are meant to listen to the messages of your body, follow your heart, and heed your intuition, not deny them. Healing will come when you do.
