2023 - Daring to dream. Living boldly.

When we release ourselves from the grip of our thinking; when we let go of the fear of failing; when we stop worrying about what others think; when we move out of the comfort of the easy option...

When we let all of this go, we begin to access the full power of the mind and of what it is to be a human.

Boldness is then possible. We can begin to live life fully and boldly, doing what we dream of doing without inhibition.

In Theodore Roosevelt's language, this is about living your life in the arena.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

In 2023, we invite you to be in the arena in your own life, playing full out and daring greatly.
