Bad news Quote by Ritu Ghatourey
“Feelings like disappointment,í embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear, instead of being bad news, are actually very clear moments that teach us where it is that were holding back. They teach us to perk up and lean in when we feel wed rather collapse and back away. Theyre like messengers that show us, with terrifying clarity, exactly where were stuck. This very moment is the perfect teacher, and, lucky for us, its with us wherever we are.”
