Daily Inspirational Quote October 19 2014

“A person needs at intervals to separate from family and companions and go to new places. One must go without familiars in order to be open to influences, to change.” – Katharine Butler Hathaway

I have taken many classes and seminars over the years, sometimes with a friend in tow, and sometimes on my own. I’ve discovered that when I’m alone, I tend to meet more people and make new friends more readily. I’m also less self-conscious and more open to the ideas presented, for as no one in the new arena knows me, I feel free to relax and really be myself. While bright, capable partners are surely treasures, it’s often easier to wholeheartedly embrace new potentials when we explore them alone.
