Quotes:

"Every single time we give our power away you're disappointing yourself and your innermost part of yourself knows that and is keeping track of that, and it gets really angry when you go against that inner wisdom."

"We accept the love we think we deserve."

"Our self-worth dictates the quality of our lives."

"We weren't born to live in boxes with recycled air and a lack of sunlight."

"Learning to love and accept all parts of ourselves and the dark, ugly parts of us that we deemed unworthy. As long as that sits there in the shadow, beyond the light of conscious awareness, the longer it's going to take you where you want to be to evolve."

"What you resist persists." - Carl Jung

[Gilian on taking responsibility for your thoughts, circumstances, and actions]

"Once you prove to yourself and the universe that you're capable, responsible, and trustworthy at that level, the next level will open up to you."

"Whatever we feed our power into grows so it's our responsibility to make sure we're investing it into things that matter, not just for ourselves personally, but humanity."
