experiencing Joy

4/2/2015

Since I have been doing a lot of driving lately, I have downloaded some audio books to listen to during my journeys. I have listened to hours of Dr. Brene Brown and I really enjoy her simplicity, depth and honesty in the way she presents her material. Simultaneously reading her book "The gifts of imperfections" this sentence stood out for me:
"The dark does not destroy the light; it defines it. It's our fear of the dark that casts our joy into the shadows."
This sentence was a summary on how it's often difficult for us to experience joy, as we are afraid of losing it again. Not experiencing joy seems a safer place, because we don't have to deal with the possible loss of it later on. When we are fully invested in this emotion we are in a vulnerable position, which can feel uncomfortable and uncertain, but it's absolutely worth it.
 
Catch yourself when you are holding back on joy, since you will be missing out on life!

That was a beautiful sentence. I got here when I was trying to google for where exactly it was from. Is that sentence found in the book, The Gifts of imperfections?
