The Wisdom Within

How embracing discomfort leads to freedom

By Paola CrocomoPublished about a year ago 1 min read

The courageous ones might not be those who simply do not fear mistakes

but those who walk, using their fear as a guide,

as a teacher,

sitting face to face,

learning from its lessons,

from what brings them so much suffering,

to finally be free.

Not letting fear hold them back from moving ahead,

so they can, at last, walk

toward the place their heart points to.

Currently on my postdoc, I've been studying Chemistry over 13 years, but the only thing that kept me going was journaling my feelings, writing poems and drawing on my notebooks. Now, I finally decide to share a bit here. Hope you enjoy :)
