“The most peaceful people that I know, and the wisest people I know, are the ones who have created enough internal space to be able to allow all the parts of themselves to co-exist despite the contradictions. So, they have room for their creativity, but they also have room for their fear. They have room for their dignity, they also have room for their shame. They have room for the parts of themselves that are glorious, divine, and wonderful, and they have room for the parts of themselves that are petty, jealous and ridiculous. They create this big, huge auditorium of a landscape inside themselves. They don’t kick any parts out because guess what, you can’t.”
~Elizabeth Gilbert
