Lucky seven: Weekly letter with five quotes from others and two things I'm considering.

Today, let's explore some quotes shared by Brené Brown.

  1. You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.
  2. The dark does not destroy the light; it defines it. It's our fear of the dark that casts our joy into the shadows.
  3. Until we can receive with an open heart, we are never really giving with an open heart.
  4. When we stop caring about what people think, we lose our capacity for connection. When we become defined by what people think, we lose our willingness to be vulnerable.
  5. Midlife: when the Universe grabs your shoulders and tells you “I’m not f-ing around, use the gifts you were given.

And two thoughts from my side. As always, one is funny, and the other is positive:

  1. Why is the word short longer than the word long?
  2. No, it's not a disaster. Weave this into the story of you. Walk out of its ruins and save those that can still be saved. I am on your side. Subdue the regret, dust yourself off, and proceed!

Have a great week ahead, and see you on the next occasion!
