Stability in Our Times, 3

The waiting room in a doctor’s office is the land where time stands still, and your life is put on hold.

Run to the Roar (3) Embracing Imperfection

When we spend a lifetime trying to distance ourselves from the parts of our lives that don’t fit with who we think we’re supposed to be, we stand outside our own story and hustle for our worthiness by constantly performing, perfecting, please, and proving. So, why not let go of who you think you’re supposed to be and be who you are?
