“But it’s not so black or white. This or that. Success or failure. There can be nuance, even if it’s uncomfortable. We can not have our expectations fully met and still stick with it. Still choose ourselves. Not feel like we’re failures just because things didn’t go to plan.”
“The most common thing I’ve experienced is trying to do the same thing over and over again, feeling exhausted, and screaming that I’m a failure and people don’t get me.”
“Our solution doesn’t have to be to run away from the world. To hide away in fear. We can have more faith in ourselves. We can know that we’re far more capable than we realize. That we’re building capacity. Capacity to be fully engaged in the world and experience intensity and still be able to hold it.”
“We don’t feel like geniuses by having the perfect life. All we need is one superb container. Just one space that can really, really hold us.”
“Visionaries are phenomenal at knowing when a container doesn’t fit. The problem is we live in a world where ill-fitting containers are pretty normalized. And we’re told to settle all the time.”
“When we love something—a person, an idea, a vision—we tend to do things we never thought we could do. We take chances. We have faith. Faith in something invisible but very much real.”
