“A further sign of health is that we don’t become undone by fear and trembling, but we take it as a message that it’s time to stop struggling and look directly at what’s threatening us.”
-Pema Chodron
Pema Chodron is a Buddhist American teacher and foremost expert on fearlessness. She’s my go-to person when I feel fear. Her books, Going to the Places that Scare You, The Wisdom of no Escape, and When Things Fall Apart are best-sellers and once you read them, you understand why. Without fail, her wisdom-told as anecdotes and lessons from our fallible human lives-are always a helpful solution to uncertain and anxious times.
