Buddhism Day by Day: We Are Always Changing
“We are always changing. If you decide passively, ‘I’m a quiet type now, so I’ll just go through life being quiet,’ then you won’t fully realize your unique potential. On the other hand, you can challenge yourself to become someone, who, though quiet and reserve by nature, will nevertheless say what needs to be said at the right moment, clearly and completely, someone who has the courage to speak out and stand up for the truth.”
