“... vulnerability is at the center of fear and shame,
but it is also at the center of joy and gratitude and love and belonging.” Brene Brown
"The secret of happiness is freedom.
And the secret of freedom is courage." Thucydides
“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.” Anais Nin
“It takes courage to endure the sharp pains of self discovery, rather than
choose to take the dull pain of unconsciousness that would last the rest of our lives.” Marianne Williamson
“To wake up to our lives and to develop and sustain mindful awareness requires great courage. Mindfulness is not for the faint-hearted, nor for those timid or afraid of bearing witness to the often overwhelming brilliance, intensity, and complexity of their lives and world. To care deeply enough about waking up to our lives that we apply ourselves diligently to cultivating mindfulness, is a great act of courage, curiosity, and commitment. Properly practiced the intention to sustain mindful attention is supported by the attitudes of curiosity, openness, acceptance, and loving discernment." Joel Levey
