Perhaps the biggest tragedy of our lives is that freedom is possible, yet we can pass our years trapped in the same old patterns…We may want to love other people without holding back, to feel authentic, to breathe in the beauty around us, to dance and sing. Yet each day we listen to inner voices that keep our life small

Rings a bell here with me!
Brach’s quote reminds me of this TedTalk – How to stop screwing yourself over by Mel Robbins, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp7E973zozc
Mindfulness leads to authenticity, which leads to freedom, which leads to an exhilarating feeling of lightness. Thank you for this reminder.
