‘We can learn to welcome everything, including our own failures. When we learn to welcome everything wholeheartedly, we become fearless, and that helps others to become fearless also.’ (Entering The Mind Of Buddha)
This is the heart of bodhisattva activity. The transformation that allows us to welcome our own failures and to drop away some of our self-protective fears seems to me these days to be the key to living a happy life.
