we draw long thick curtains over this sunny side of the window that even if light wishes to penetrate it can’t. It is not the fault of your light. It is how you have trained to see things.
Bonus: I loved your end note on failing big. It's so freaking painful, though. But on the other side at each mountain, you transform into that "giant to be."
☺️ most welcome Keva. I guess we all need these reminders amidst our daily challenges. Including me. Essentially these are the things I want to hear in my journey of being a writer. Thank you for reading 🫶🏻
Thank you for all your thoughtful curation and drawing together bits of wisdom for us.
Today. this bit made me think: "Cultivating a questioning mind, of which conversation is the chief instrument, enriches our relationship with the world. Having a conversation with someone I may disagree with is, I have come to find, a great, life embracing pleasure.”
When I work with people (and their brains), I work on the assumption that whatever is happening for them right now makes sense in some way. Their brain~mind isn't going to go off in some bizarre direction for no reason. In some way, this is solving a "problem" for them or is at least an attempt to do so. The most common phrase I used in my practice was "That makes sense".
What would happen if we entered into these challenging conversations to discover how this "makes sense" for them where they are now and~or base don where they've come from?
Thank you for these words of hope, Anugrah!
