Hello Everyone,
I hope that you have all been enjoying your holidays with friends and family. Have a fun and safe new year!!
True growth and learning is really about seeking out challenges, so I thought to start off the new year I would share a quote from Karlfried Durckheim, a German diplomat, psychotherapist and Zen Master:
The person who, being really on the Way, falls upon hard times in the world, will not, as a consequence, turn to that friend who offers him refuge and comfort and encourages their old self to survive. Rather, he will seek out someone who will faithfully and inexorably help him to risk himself, so that he may endure the difficulty and pass courageously through it. Only to the extent that a person exposes himself over and over again to annihilation, can that which is indestructible be found within them.
May we all get closer to finding that indestructible part of ourselves this year.
Take care,
Jocelyne
