Are you courageous?
When ideas fail to translate into words, borrow, borrow, borrow…..
In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. ~Thomas Jefferson
Excerpted from Us Against You by Fredrik Backman:
When terrible things happen, most people become waves, but some people become rocks. Waves are tossed back and forth when the wind comes, but the rocks just take a beating, immovable, waiting for the storm to blow over.
And David Whyte, from Crossing the Unknown Sea: Work as a Pilgrimage of Identity:
One of the distinguishing features of any courageous human being is the ability to remain unutterably themselves in the midst of conforming pressures.
If you are looking for something to read, I’d recommend both books listed above. :)
