Soul Stirring Quotes:

“The human brain isn’t formed when we are born. We form our brain, build the architecture of our brain, from birth to age 5.”

“The fundamental core of who you are, the heart of you, is created in the first three years before you have any idea what’s going on.”

“That triangle, trust, independence, and faith, that’s the heart of you.”

“I encourage people to define their questions finitely. You need to identify their “Yes” and “No” people.”

“People can be taught to meet our needs, but first we have to be willing to talk about the fact that we need things.”

“I think it’s so important to know that we can have our needs met by other people.”

“We have a huge part of our brain that is invested in building relationships with people.”

“We need to understand that reality as we define it is unique, and other people really live in a different reality than we do.”

“You have resilience factors in your life to offset and balance the trauma. The trauma is real but you get released to it some time if you have a resilience factor in your life.”

“The more you get away from what is traumatic and experience other opportunities, the more other people show you that there is another way.”
