Dan Harris Quote

Often it’s not the unknown that scares us, it’s that we think we know what’s going to happen—and that it’s going to be bad. But the truth is, we really don’t know. The smart play, she said, was to turn the situation to my internal advantage. Fear of annihilation, she said, can lead to great insight, because it reminds us of impermanence and the fact that we are not in control.
