Quick Thought
I have been reading a book called Captivating that my dear sister gave me for Christmas. It is a must read for women or men who want to understand us better! I just wanted to share this excerpt that really made me think today. The excerpt here is actually one the Eldridges quoted from The Sacred Journey.
"To do for yourself the best that you have in you to do - to grit your teeth and clench your fists in order to survive the world at its harshest and worst - is, by that very act, to be unable to let something be done for you and in you that is more wonderful still. The trouble with steeling yourself against the harshness of reality is that the same steel that secures your life against being destroyed secures your life also against being opened up and transformed."
Good night!
