The Courage to Be Dislighted

Happiness comes from such a personal, authentic place that allowing the expectations of others to chart your course means you'd probably never arrive there. And doing what's best for you is going to create a divide somewhere because everything creates a divide. In many ways it goes right up against our lizard brain, biological wiring, right? We're fitting in equates to survival and ostracization becomes a death sentence. But we are fortunately beyond that. It's in our interest now. I'm better at this than I was 10 years ago, no question. But do I still have a ways to go? Absolutely. There are still things I'm working on every day to let go of.
