Standing in the ring of fire, the eye of the storm, the vortex of pain and pressure is simultaneously the most vulnerable and most powerful place to be. Here we embody paradox. We stand our ground and surrender completely. Here we know the full power of the Feminine.

About This Quote

In the ring of fire, the eye of the storm, the vortex of pain and pressure is simultaneously the most vulnerable and most powerful place to be. Here we embody paradox. We stand our ground and surrender completely. Here we know the full power of the Feminine.

The core of who we are is found in how we handle our successes and failures. We have a choice to surrender to our failures or keep standing firm in our own truth. Standing in the ring of fire means accepting that you are going through a difficult time, realizing that life is really not fair, but choosing to accept it all with love and compassion.
