This is such a wise one--or maybe I just think so because there've been times in my life when I **did** start to surrender my joy for an idea about myself that wasn't true anymore, and I had to stop and realize that. Anyway. Cool quote: thank you.

Thanks. I think we've all been there. It's a natural human tendency to box ourselves in.
