Daily Inspirational Quote August 11 2014
“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.”
- Joseph Campbell
A great friend and spiritual teacher once taught me a lesson I’ll never forget. She said that when we’re torn between two options or opportunities and can’t decide which one to choose, we should pick the one that scares us the most, for the safe path is naturally more limited. When I’ve taken her advice and chosen to take some risks in pursuit of happiness, I have never regretted it. Even when we don’t end up exactly where we expect to, facing our fears and boldly reaching beyond our comfort zone always leads us somewhere new and interesting, filled with lessons and blessings and delightful surprises. When we reach farther and higher than we ever have before, somehow we always end up with more than we are expecting.
