"…feelings like disappointment, embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear, instead of being bad news, are actually very clear moments that teach us where it is that we’re holding back.

This very moment is the perfect teacher, and, lucky for us, it’s with us wherever we are."
