There are a million cheap seats in the world today filled with people who will never be brave with their lives but who will spend every ounce of energy they have hurling advice and judgment at those who dare greatly.

If you’re criticizing from a place where you’re not also putting yourself on the line, I’m not interested in what you have to say.” Brene Brown
