Rising to the Challenge | March 21, 2014

---

 

People are afraid that if they let go of their anger and righteousness and wrath, and look at their own feelings—and even see the good in a bad person—they're going to lose the energy they need to do something about the problem. But actually you get more strength and energy by operating from a place of love and concern. You can be just as tough, but more effectively tough. 

 

—Robert Thurman, "Rising to the Challenge"
