It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare. It is because we do not dare that things are difficult.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BCE – 65 CE)
was a Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, and dramatist
“This quote especially touches me in the time we’re in right now in America and globally. It speaks to me about how we are asked to show up, not with a solution, but with our whole heart, with our whole being, because it is our full humanity and presence with each other that makes things less difficult if we dare to show up.”
