“I‘ve been to The Valley of Fucking Awful.

In fact, just last week, I went there for about 24 hours. I don’t know what thought bought me a ticket back there. I can tell you it was fucking awful. You know the place. I’m sure you’ve been there. It’s filled with old ways, old fears, pictures of the way things ‘could have been’ or ‘should have been’, old voices of defeat, judgment, lack, self-recrimination, missed opportunity and ill-fitting self-concepts. It is not a place you want to spend much time.

It’s liberating to call it by name. It makes you laugh, breaks the trance, and opens a portal for the Light to pour in.

Once you shine the Light of self-acceptance and self-love, The Valley of Fucking Awful trembles and shudders, withering into nothingness.

If you tumble back into The Valley now and again, dust yourself off and remember: loving yourself just as you are and your life just as it is, is the ticket out.”
