Thoughts on the world, homeopathy, mindfulness and food...
A collection of blog posts - feel free to respond with your thoughts and comments - I love to have feedback - thank you!
Re-reminded of this quote after watching Brené Brown's Netfix show, I shared the following with students this weekend. I find it a good reminder to keep getting out there, doing, sometimes not doing quite how I wanted to, and getting on with it again.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt I also shared a more modern take, Brené's quote below. I can't do a Texas, or even American accent, so they had to go with it in my own Northern style, but if you can do a Texan one (or listen to Brené deliver it somewhere), I'm sure that adds to it really... “If you are not in the arena getting your ass kicked on occasion, I am not interested in or open to your feedback. There are a million cheap seats in the world today filled with people who will never be brave with their own lives, but will spend every ounce of energy they have hurling advice and judgement at those of us trying to dare greatly. Their only contributions are criticism, cynicism, and fear-mongering. If you're criticizing from a place where you're not also putting yourself on the line, I'm not interested in your feedback.” ― Brené Brown I'm not sure any of my words right now can add to that, so I'll leave it there. With love xx
