“What are the ways we remain secure within ourselves and handle what happens? … we view our feelings as valuable rather than negative, shameful or unfortunate. As feelings are expressed and resolved, we are left with no resentment about what triggered them. We then can more easily believe in how life unfolds in favor of our growth when we say ‘yes’ to its knocks.”
– David Richo, Everyday Commitments: Choosing a Life of Love, Realism, and Acceptance
