It is a reminder that we contain within us the latent potential of every future possibility we can conceive of. It is very hard to show up as the person you want to be when you are surrounded by an environment that makes you feel like a person you aren’t. It is not about simply ‘getting over’ them; it is about listening to what they are trying to tell us about our experience. Ceremony is a book written around the idea that the most unlikely moments are often the very ones offering us a chance to meet ourselves more deeply; it is a book for the ones who are ready to stop waiting and wondering, and dive all the way into who they were meant to be.

Ceremony Quotes by Brianna Wiest - Goodreads

There is a world-altering difference between using social media in a healthy way versus as a coping mechanism. There are thousands of things you’ve simply re-leased into the night, that ended the moment you fell asleep and your eyes opened again in the morning.I’ll probably always keep this book close to me when I need a helpful reminder about my power and all that I am.
