Transformative Experiences Quotes

“This is the paradox of transformative experience: Because our imagination is bounded by our existing templates of how the world as we know it works, we fail to anticipate the greatest transformations—the events and encounters so unmoored from the familiar that they transfigure our map of reality and propel us into a wholly novel mode of being.”
― Maria Popova, Figuring

“When we go deeper into every experience and emotion; especially the painful ones, we tap into the source of our greatest hidden gifts.”
― Ulonda Faye, Sutras of the Heart: Spiritual Poetry to Nourish the Soul
