It's fascinating how empowering knowing just how safe you are can be.

I used nearly this exact phrase the other day with someone who appeared fearful of a dashboard tool and once they realised they could basically do no harm whatsoever it freed them up to experiment and learn.

Well, it's not strictly true at all that you are totally safe, I think, but you have to behave as if you are or you get nowhere. That's quite a metaphor for life in general.
