Summary
Within your subconscious mind resides more wisdom than you’ll likely ever know at a conscious level. It is waiting to reveal this wisdom to you. Yet many times we are unwilling to allow for this revealing. We ignore it. Or we shut it out.
Sooner or later, something occurs in our lives — a sickness, a sabotage, an accident — that forces us to look at our lives and all of the things we’ve been ignoring or sweeping under the rug. We get a wake-up call.
But what if we made a decision to take a look at our life issues before we’re coerced to do so? What if we opened our eyes to those not-so-pretty realities of our lives before the alarm bells ring and jolt us back to what’s real?
On today’s episode of The Quote of The Day Show, Marianne Williamson encourages you to deal with it now.
This clip comes from Marianne's audio program, A Return to Love Workshop: The Basics of A Course in Miracles, available on Audible.

| 0:03.0 | It is merely up to you whether you learn to joy or through pain. |
| 0:07.9 | And that is the quote of the day. |
| 0:30.0 | Welcome back to the quote of the day show. |
| 0:39.6 | I'm your host Sean Croxson of Sean Croxson.com. |
| 0:42.2 | Thank you so much for tuning in today's feature speaker is Mary Ann Williamson. |
| 0:46.0 | It's been a couple of months since Mary Ann was on the show. |
| 0:48.6 | I was hanging out the other day listening to one of her workshops and this clip really stood |
| 0:53.8 | out to me, really resonated with me because so many of us actually all of us have some issue |
| 0:59.6 | or another, probably many issues that we tend to sweep under the rug that we try our best |
| 1:04.4 | to forget about that we try to act like it's just not even there. |
| 1:07.9 | Even though it's there, we act like it's not. |
| 1:11.3 | And the thing about it is that at some point we're going to have to look at it and what |
| 1:16.7 | Mary Ann encourages to do today is to look at these issues and take them on before life |
| 1:23.1 | forces us to look at them. |
| 1:25.7 | So without further ado, here's Mary Ann. |
| 1:29.9 | You know, we've all heard the truth is within you, the answers are inside you, but that's |
| 1:35.6 | one of those things like let go. |
| 1:37.3 | What am I letting go to? |
