Healing Words 5.24.2018

Life is often a paradox. In heaviness, there is lightness. We use much of our energy avoiding things that are difficult—confronting your boss, opening up to your spouse, admitting you made a mistake, getting on the airplane, going to the first meeting...When we pull away from things that are uncomfortable, we don't gain comfort, we lose power. But it's not easy, in fact, it's the work of a lifetime. It takes practice. Daring is a muscle and the more we use it, the easier it becomes—the lighter you become, the more authentic you become.
