It takes courage

“Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.”
(Ralph Waldo Emerson)

Feed it back.

"feeling depressed because of failures?
self-realization is the first step of recovery."
(Reg Collado)

Excellent reframe by @iamjoannesamson:
"If you let the fears of an ugly past
block you from the possibilities
of a beautiful future, you’re not just settling,
you’re losing."

It's all feedback.

"Failure is simply the opportunity to begin
again, this time more intelligently."
(Henry Ford)

"To hell with circumstances;
I create opportunities."
(Bruce Lee)

Who can we hurt?

It's just "ecology." by example, a gas guzzling car is faster, but costs more for you, and pollutes the environment our kids will all grow up in.
So, perhaps, we might ask, how do we live our truth in the way that helps the most?
Reverse story:
i have heard it said, "how dare you pretend to be timid? Do you know how many lives will not bloom because someone else took command?"

so perhaps, more reflection, more prayer, more meditation,
and even more positive action?

Great start for a group discussion, eh? One that consolidates a "when to reflect more, how to decide, & when to act?"

Becuase you're right, we are all built somewhat differently (which is great), yet from the same great template.

So, now, how do we choose? Where do we begin?
When do we begin?

How soon is now?
