I'm reading the book, The Gifts of imperfection by Bené Brown. I read it now and again. Recently I came across this quote. I think we are living in a risk-free obsessed society and we are paying dearly for it.  Almost everything in life

"Owning our story can
be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it.
Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky, but not nearly as dangerous as giving
up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most
vulnerable. Only when are brave enough to explore the darkness will discover
the infinite power of our light."

~Bené Brown
