Passion, avoiding criticism, and being free

I have found my strongest fears point to my brightest passions.

Those things I most feared being criticised for (being dull and dead) pointed to the thing I hold in highest regard (aliveness and spirit).

Isn’t it funny and tragic that so many of us shield ourselves from experiencing the very things we are most passionate about?
