“Our shadow determines whether we will live a happy, successful, and stress-free existence or whether we will struggle with our finances, our relationships, our career, our temper, our integrity, our self-image, or an addiction. The I Ching tells us, “It is only when we have the courage to face things exactly as they are, without any self-deception or illusion, that a light will develop out of events, by which the path to success may be recognized.” Only in the presence of an unwavering commitment to facing our demons does the doorway to self-discovery open.”
Excerpt From: Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson & Debbie Ford. “The Shadow Effect”
