Risk, and other juicy topics

by

A client sent me this quote today from Katherine Mansfield, via Thinkexist.com:

Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinions of others, for those
voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face
the truth.

While I know what this quote does for me – it’s rich with interesting places for me to look and dive into! – I was even more engaged and curious about what this quote might mean for my client… and so share it with you in the same vein of curiosity.  I’d love to hear from you on any of these topics!

What’s the hardest thing on earth for you?

What would it mean for you to act for yourself?

What would it mean to you to face the truth?

But the dream is still there, acknowledged or not.  […]
