If fear is part of growth, how do we develop inner strength and how do we develop trust?
Trust is a very important part of the spiritual journey. Not trust in a particular outcome, but trust that you can open to the present moment. And we don't just automatically have that trust; it's something that we develop... [through/with]... mindfulness.
~Pema Chödrön, Noble Heart.
