6. Waupaca County DHHS 2016 NIATx Project Impact
“Fierceness takes honesty and commitment. Fierceness means telling yourself the truth about what’s at stake and what’s possible, without expending a drop of energy on trying to make everything okay. Because everything will never be okay. And everything is always okay. Fierce means living with the simultaneous certainty that this is vitally important and this might not work.” ~Seth Godin
