… are also the biggest threats to others.
Courage. Grace. Wisdom. Power.
Talent. Resilience. Positivity. Love.
All these things, and more, draw people towards us and, at the same time, push people away. Resilient people piss off those who would rather give up. Talented people are envied by those longing for some. And it can’t be denied that optimists and pessimists are rarely friends.
As Danielle once said: “If you aren’t seen as a threat, you don’t have much to offer.”

There is a great saying for this in Spanish, I’ll do my best to translate:
