Reflection
Self-Care
When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid. (Reflection 1008)
— Audre Lorde
जब मैं शक्तिशाली होने का साहस करता हूँ, अपनी शक्ति का उपयोग अपनी दृष्टि की सेवा में करता हूँ, तब यह कम और कम महत्वपूर्ण हो जाता है कि मैं डरा हुआ हूँ। (Reflection 1008)
— ऑड्रे लॉर्ड

Why this matters:
Power comes from aligning our actions with our values, regardless of fear. Strength is not the absence of struggle, but the persistence through it. In this 1008th step of our journey, we find that self-care requires consistent practice and patience.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
शक्ति डर की परवाह किए बिना हमारे कार्यों को हमारे मूल्यों के साथ संरेखित करने से आती है। ताकत संघर्ष की अनुपस्थिति नहीं है, बल्कि इसके माध्यम से निरंतरता है। हमारी यात्रा के इस 1008वें कदम में, हम पाते हैं कि आत्म-देखभाल (self-care) के लिए निरंतर अभ्यास और धैर्य की आवश्यकता होती है।
