Clarissa Pinkola Estés: To Stand Up and Show Your Soul


If you have yet to be called an incorrigable, defiant woman, don't worry, there is still time

To be ourselves causes us to be exiled by many others, and yet to comply with what others want causes us to be exiled from ourselves.

One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it.

Anything you do from the soulful self will help lighten the burdens of the world. Anything. You have no idea what the smallest word, the tiniest generosity, can cause to be set in motion...Mend the part of the world that is within your reach.
