LeanIn | The GentleLadies
“Something hurts, lean in. You just lean into that point until it loses its power over you. There's a certain amount of suffering that you have to be willing to sustain if you want to have a good life. And the real trick is to be able to sustain it with your heart open and still be loving” - Will Smith

Instead of shrinking away from our fears or hardships, can we embrace them? When things are difficult, like they are now, how do we continue to trust that what is happening, is happening FOR us. When we do trust and lean in, we are empowered, we get to choose what to do with what we are given. We may not like what’s there and it may feel like we have no control at times but when we lean in instead of shying away that’s when change happens. And when we share those experiences with others, we commit to life and therefore can live it more fully and passionately. Not apathy or ignorance, not giving up but clearly seeing what is and embracing our power of choice to take action and speak from a place of love for ourselves and our fellow human.
