There are no shortcuts in this
process of awakening.  You must do the
hard work.  This is why so many are
content to remain in slumber.  And what
is the hard work?  Facing your fears, feeling
your tears, digging through the years when you were not willing to take a hard
look at yourself.  Now you are.

Do not be afraid of what you
will find.  Be proud of yourself for
having come to the point where you now have the courage to go beyond merely
plodding along as so many do, and setting your spirit free.  This takes work and a great deal of
awareness, but the rewards—oft hard earned—are well worth the effort.
