“There is no greater threat to the critics and cynics and fearmongers than those of us who are willing to fall because we have learned how to rise. With skinned knees and bruised hearts; we choose owning our stories of struggle, over hiding, over hustling, over pretending. When we deny our stories, they define us. When we run from struggle, we are never free. So we turn toward truth and look it in the eye.”
― Dr. Brené Brown, from Rising Strong: How the Ability to Reset Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead
