Monday morning cup of thoughts
a quote from Anais Nin
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.
This quote resonates with me this week. I’m pushing my boundaries, which is never comfortable. Anais reminds me that I’m expanding. Sooner than I might wish, life will be shrinking, a fact of life when you are 67. I hope to keep expanding until I have no room left to grow.
I have never seen this quote before, but it describes how my life has gone for the last 62 years. I was never able to put it so succinctly. It is important to see how your life moves in and out of expansion and contraction, and not be an observer, but a participant, plus, don't be too hard on yourself.
True words.
Waking up everyday and going forth with courage is a tall task. I have to remind myself of this often.
