““To get to our passion and purpose we must be willing to shine the light of awareness on the shadow parts of ourselves. If we cannot admit it when we are angry, the anger will leak out in ways beyond our control and we will remain stuck in the anger. By acknowledging anger, we are able to make conscious choices about how and when we express that anger. Just as we have seen that we can transcend fear, we can transcend anger. All of our “negative” emotions are part of our humanity. If we can forgive ourselves for our humanity, we can forgive others for theirs.””
