Here are some statements Jacqueline frequently makes to therapy clients:
- Trust your feelings; they are your road sign(s) and compass
- Check out your perceptions before making a judgment.
- To take your life to the next level (of well-being) you have to take responsibility for what you say and do each day. Otherwise you will always be what your past "says" you are.
- When you are truly listening to another person your mind will quiet, and you'll be receptive to your intuition.
- Most of the time people think about themselves, not you.
- You are not more important, nor less important, than anyone else.
- You are unique. Enjoy it.
- A kick in the ass is one step forward.
- You're a treasure. When you know that for yourself you will feel better, and life will be more enjoyable.
The list could go on (and on) but you get the drift.
Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Jacqueline Marshall
Humor pits the conventional and acceptable against that which is sideways or upside down. For this reason, humor can be a catalyst for self-awareness and spiritual growth. Laughter is a powerful but soft way to look at our own faults and limiting perceptions. It puts a compassionate face on personal truth. JM
