Excuse me?

If you are allowed to doubt, that is the first certainty.
If you are allowed to be tense, that is the first relaxation.
If you are allowed to fail, that is the first success.
If you are allowed to falter, that is the first balance.
If you are allowed to be ill, that is the first step to becoming healthy.
If you are allowed to grieve, that is the first comfort.
If you allow yourself to feel bad, you are almost through it.

Insight from the 'Coaching of Personal and Existential Questions' course (Artevelde University of Applied Sciences): everything is welcome #nohardfeelings.
