Daring Greatly


"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. 
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again,
Because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause;
Who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly..."
-Theodore Roosevelt
I Am Daring Greatly

I'm reading the new book by Brene Brown called, "Daring Greatly: How the courage to be vulnerable transforms the way we live, love, parent and lead"  I'm excited about this book because it goes along with a new lesson God has been speaking to me about in the area of vulnerability. For me, vulnerability is weakness. Weakness = not good enough. God is changing that mindset for me. 

We'll see how it goes...
