I want to be in the arena. I want to be brave with my life. And when we make the choice to dare greatly, we sign up to get our asses kicked. We can choose courage or we can choose comfort, but we can't have both. Not at the same time.

For me, if you're not in the arena getting your ass kicked, I'm not interested in your feedback. — Brene Brown
