“It takes courage to walk away from what is inauthentic without benefit of a secure structure to grab onto. It takes courage to experiment with taking risks. And it takes courage to face the valuable and scary parts of you that are submerged in your cellar self. As your cosmic barbecue burns away your faulty identity, your heart opens to self-compassion, as well as greater compassion for the flawed humanity of others.” Life Transitions Author:Toni Galardi
