    “to expect another to resolve all of our issues and give us the happiness we desire is to expect to see the sunrise without opening our own eyes. it is to ask a river to give us nourishment without dipping our own hands into the water. another cannot answer a riddle that was only ever meant for our own minds to solve. the universe seeks to enlighten and empower us, thus it is only rational that we are our own greatest healers.”

    Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 159)

      “true self-love is when one understands that the inward journey is the path to freedom, that observing and releasing our inner burdens is what will make us feel lighter and more aware. self-love does not grow the ego; it does the opposite. it is our ego that carries the craving that causes our suffering—the incessant craving that rests at the center of the ego is the ultimate block that stops us from achieving freedom.”

      Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 148)

        “self-love

        is creating space

        in your life to heal

        your body and mind

        Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 143)

          "when chaos is all around you
the wisest choice is to create
peace within you

your peace shines outward
and supports the creation
of a new harmony

(meditation)

~ Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 120)

            “it is the things

            you say no to

            that really show

            your commitment

            to your growth.”

            Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 119)

              “when things get tough, remember that we are not building something small, we are building a palace of peace within our own hearts. it takes determination and effort to complete something of such beauty and magnitude.”

              Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 108)

                “the inward movement can be summarized as follows: we observe ourselves, we accept what we find without judgment, we let it go, and the actual release causes our transformation.”

                Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 107)

                  “the more love

                  in my body,

                  the less harm

                  my body can do.”

                  Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 83)

                    “healing ourselves isn’t about constantly feeling bliss; being attached to bliss is a bondage of its own. trying to force ourselves to be happy is counterproductive, because it suppresses the sometimes tough reality of the moment, pushing it back within the depths of our being, instead of allowing it to arise and release.”

                    Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 81)

                      “a hero

                      is one who heals

                      their own wounds

                      and then shows others

                      how to do the same”

                      ~ Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 74)

                        where do good decisions come from?
a calm mind

how can you measure your peace?
by how calm you stay during a storm

how do you know if you are attached to something?
because it creates tension in your mind

where are the greatest revolutions fought and won?
in the heart

do you know why you are powerful?
because you can change the future

~ Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 67)

                          “a real sign of progress is when we no longer punish ourselves for our imperfections.”

                          Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 53)

                            letting go

                            doesn’t mean forgetting;

                            it means we stop carrying

                            the energy of the past

                            into the present

                            Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 49)

                              “reminder: you can love people and simultaneously not allow them to harm you”

                              Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 39)

                                if you measure

                                the length

                                of your ego,

                                it will equal

                                the distance

                                between you

                                and your freedom

                                Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 31)

                                  “what we face internally is a microcosm of what humanity faces globally—this is why growing our self-love is a medicine for our earth”

                                  Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 30)

                                    an apology to past lovers:

i wasn't ready
to treat you well

i didn't know love
was meant to be selfless

i didn't know my pain
had control over my actions

i didn't know how far away
i was from myself
and how that distance
always kept us miles apart

(blind heart)

                                      “sometimes deeper mental clarity

                                      is preceded by great internal storms”

                                      Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 21)

                                        don't run away
from heavy emotions

honor the anger;
give pain the space
it needs to breathe

this is how we let go
