13 Inspiring Quotes on Alignment
Over the years I’ve ended countless draining habits by realizing that I needed to get into alignment; with my values, my words, my belief, even my soul’s purpose.
How do you know you’re out of alignment?
You feel stressed and overburdened.
Resentment rules the day.
Bickering, arguments, and misunderstandings flare-up between you and the people close to you.
When I notice life feels like a struggle, I know I need to get aligned.
And the first step to getting back into alignment, to feeling that flow, that purpose, that “we’re on the same team” vibe, is to want it, and have a practice for getting back on track.
These quotes begin to sum up why radical alignment is so important on this path of self-love, self-worth, and creating a personally successful life:

"When we apologize for something we’ve done, make amends, or change a behavior that doesn’t align with our values, guilt—not shame—is most often the driving force. We feel guilty when we hold up something we’ve done or failed to do against our values and find they don’t match up. It’s an uncomfortable feeling, but one that’s helpful. The psychological discomfort, something similar to cognitive dissonance, is what motivates meaningful change. Guilt is just as powerful as shame, but its influence is positive, while shame is destructive. In fact, in my research, I found that shame corrodes the very part of us that believes we can change and do better." — Brené Brown (Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead)
“When you begin with a sense of deep alignment and have a nuanced understanding of, and empathy for, the other people involved, you will not only avoid arguments but also you’ll be able to see opportunities previously invisible. When you reduce unnecessary interpersonal friction, you unlock the true potential of teams.” — Alexandra Jamieson and Bob Gower, Radical Alignment
