Such a beautifully written article.
This line really hits home.
Most of us have no idea how completely disempowered we are- being dragged from one impulsive reaction to another, in an effort to avoid what scares us.
Building the courage to connect with the self by facing these inconvenient truths, helps us develop a capacity to actually stand for something, and develop the gifts/skill/wisdom that allow us to live in the most meaningful ways possible.
I write about some of this stuff on my Medium account, too. I am glad to have found another who understands the fundamentals of growth and success.
