Quote by Carla Madeira

“A liberdade é uma conversa fiada, é palavra de efeito, sempre no meio de uma frase para impressionar os desatentos, no fundo estamos presos à incapacidade de ser outra coisa diferente do que somos, do que a história da gente tramou.”

It will also destroy you.”

However, jumping straight to Action isn’t always most effective. Taking the time to ask questions and Think is where the magic happens, because this process creates new awareness. Thoughtful questions include, but aren’t limited to, the following: • What choices do I have? • What’s in my control? • What would a successful outcome look like? • What obstacles are getting in the way? • How can I address those obstacles?”

“If you think of life as a game of dodgeball, Agility is about learning to stay light on your feet and think about what you want to do with all those balls flying at you.
