Untamed and Never the Same

“What is better: uncomfortable truth or comfortable lies? Every truth is a kindness, even if it makes others uncomfortable. Every untruth is an unkindness, even if it makes others feel comfortable.”
-Glennon Doyle, Untamed

My friend, unannounced sent me a copy of Untamed, and wow is it worth a read! Bite sized engaging stories, honest admissions and quirky insights, it will undoubtedly inspire you in some form or another.

“The braver I am, the luckier I get.”

“Blessed are those brave enough to make things awkward, for they wake us up and move us forward.”
― Glennon Doyle, Untamed

I also had the privledge of listening to Jackie Joyner-Kersee speak on her Olympics and beyond journey via Talks at Google when the interviewer, Lauren said “Pressure is a privilege.”Show up and act like a champion.

Jackie said she “had to be a student of the game.” I say be, and forever remain, a student to life.

Be coachable to get better and “believing you’re able to” is major key.

Go get it, champ!

“But I think of the words of Dr. maya Angelou: “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better. Doing our best now is an active thing, and so is knowing better. We don’t show up and then wait to magically know better. We show up and then, when we are corrected, we keep working. We listen hard so we can know better next time. We seek out teachers so we can known better next time. We let burn our ideas about how good and well-meaning we are so we can become better next time. Learning to know better is a commitment. We will only know better if we continue unbecoming.”
