Get Untamed: The Journal (How to Quit Pleasing and Start Living) QUOTES

1 " I understand now that no one else in the world knows what I should do. The experts don't know, the ministers, the therapists, the magazines, the authors, my parents, my friends, they don't know. Not even the folks who love me the most. Because no one has ever lived or will live this life I am attempting to live. Every life is an unprecendented experiment. This life is mine alone. So I have stopped asking people for directions to places they've never been. There is no map. We are all pioneers. "

― Glennon Doyle , Get Untamed: The Journal (How to Quit Pleasing and Start Living)

2 " What do I love? What makes me come alive? What is beauty to me, and when do I take the time to fill up with it? "

― Glennon Doyle , Get Untamed: The Journal (How to Quit Pleasing and Start Living)

3 " I'd been drowning, [...] I'd been flailing on the surface. But what I really needed to do to save myself was let myself sink. It struck me that this is why we say to people, "Calm down." Because beneath the noise of the pounding, swirling surf is a place where all is quiet and clear. The chaos stills in this deep. "

4 " I learned that I'd never be free from pain but I could be free from the fear of pain, and that was enough. [...]

The fire of pain won't consume me. I can burn and burn and live. I can live on fire. I am fireproof.

Second: I can use pain to become. "
