real fearlessness

Real fearlessness is the product of tenderness.
It comes from letting the world tickle your heart,
your raw and beautiful heart.
You are willing to open up,
without resistance or shyness,
and face the world.
You are willing to share your heart with others.

Chogyam Trungpa
Tibetan Buddhist, Scholar and Artist

i hope to find some real fearlessness but it's so hard. a lot of soul-searching required to figure this out for myself.
