The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence.
We’ve grown up in a culture where you’re told to suck it up, be tough, and keep moving. But true power comes when you are vulnerable enough to open your mouth and tell someone, ‘Hey, my head is a noisy place right now, and I need a hand.’
Emotions are celebrated and repressed, analysed and medicated, adored and ignored—but rarely, if ever, are they honoured.
Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.
If opening your eyes or getting out of bed or holding a spoon or combing your hair is the daunting Mt. Everest you climb today, that is more than okay.
Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it.
Instead of pain being passively recorded by the brain, it is actively constructed by it.
100% of the time, pain is a construct of the brain… The longer you have pain, the better your spinal cord gets at producing danger messages to the brain, even if there is no danger in the tissue.
Only those prepared to be uncertain can ever be free.
