Courage is a heart word. The root of the word courage is cor—the Latin word for heart. In one of its earliest forms, the word courage meant ‘To speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart.’ Over time, this definition has changed, and today, we typically associate courage with heroic and brave deeds. But in my opinion, this definition fails to recognize the inner strength and level of commitment required for us to actually speak honestly and openly about who we are and about our experiences—good and bad. Speaking from our hearts is what I think of as ‘ordinary courage.’” – Brené Brown

“To create is to make something that has never existed before. There’s nothing more vulnerable than that.” – Brené Brown

IN THE HOUSE OF THE HEALTHY PSYCHE
Your healthy mind, which includes every cell of your body, is like a clean, quiet room. It is meant to be presided over by your healthy ego within a spiritual self, and not by anyone or anything else. The house is the universe with all its living beings and lively events— since there is no inside/outside between self and world! In this room, there are no screams of terror or horror, no shame or regrets echoing from the corners. Nor are there graffiti on the walls: “You should or should have!” “You can’t!”
Your room often has visitors but it is not haunted by archaic ghosts or current obsessions. Nor is it cluttered by old grudges or ongoing compulsions. Fear and attachment pass through like hikers that take nothing and leave nothing behind. Grief is acceptable since losses happen in this living room. Yet, this is usually a joyous and welcoming room from which you do not seek to flee and out of which you gather much to give. In it is the love that “makes one little room an everywhere.”
This spacious room has four picture windows facing:
East: the rising sun: what is starting to happen and you are taking hold of. West: the setting sun: what is ending and you let go of.
North: the north star: the stabilizing spiritual force that you live by, e.g.,
Buddhist practice.
South: sunny exposure: your lively energy, imagination, playfulness, and
spontaneity.
In the center is an unconditional YES to look through each window when
the time feels right.
Each of us is poised to expand in every direction.
Your quiet room becomes noisy in the east and west when you fear or
resist the dawn of present challenges or the dusk of necessary endings.
It becomes noisy in the north when you have not found a spiritual
foundation in yourself.

Human Becoming – Dave Richo -- Page 8
It becomes noisy in the south when you block your potential, hold back your love, or run from it.
A relationship is healthy when you do not have to shut any windows to be in it. Who opened my windows? Who closed them? Who showed me where my windows were?
