The most important journeys we take often start with something we don’t expect or fear happening. How we respond can become the door we open towards a greater understanding of ourselves. Keeping that door open is a choice in the same way that closing a door is also a choice. All our choices are imperfect because they’re made with only the knowledge we have in the moment we decide to choose. Often we feel unprepared or we cannot see a path so putting one foot in front of the other is an essential act that needs courage. Courage is a muscle we need to flex.
