“There's a a life force that is translated through you into action.
And because there's only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique.
If you block it, it will never exist. The world will not have it.

It is your business only to keep it yours, clearly and directly — to keep the channel open.”
— Martha Graham

most people struggle to think of themselves as kind, brave, sincere, creative, artists etc — if not told so by someone else
