If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.

#QUOTE : @BRENEBROWN + #COURAGE

bobbivie:

‘The root of the word courage is cor—the Latin word for heart. In one of its earliest forms, the word courage literally had a very different definition than it does today. Courage originally meant “To speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart.” Over time, this definition has actually changed, and today, courage is synonymous with being heroic or performing brave deeds.’

Patriarchy much?

think-progress:

31 Republican men voted against the Violence Against Women Act in the Senate today. All 5 Republican women voted for it. 
Surprise.

Opinion is really the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding. The highest form of knowledge … is ‘EMPATHY,’ for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world. It requires profound, purpose larger than the self kind of understanding.
