Jean Shinoda Bolen Quotes

When you recover or discover something that nourishes your soul and brings joy, care enough about yourself to make room for it in your life.

You have the need and the right to spend part of your life caring for your soul. It is not easy. You have to resist the demands of the work-oriented, often defensive, element in your psyche that measures life only in terms of output - how much you produce - not in terms of the quality of your life experiences. To be a soulful person means to go against all the pervasive, prove-yourself values of our culture and instead treasure what is unique and internal and valuable in yourself and your own personal evolution.

To know how to choose a path with heart is to learn how to followintuitive feeling. Logic can tell you superficially where a path mightlead to, but it cannot judge whether your heart will be in it.

There is a potential heroine in every woman.

I feel that one must deliberate then act, must scan every life choice with rational thinking but then base the decision on whether one's heart will be in it.
