I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness—it’s right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude.

Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love.

Grace means that all of your mistakes now serve a purpose instead of serving shame.

 If we are brave enough often enough, we will fall. These are the physics of vulnerability.

 A crisis highlights all of our fault lines. We can pretend that we have nothing to learn, or we can take this opportunity to own the truth and make a better future for ourselves and others.

To see and to be seen. That is the truest nature of love.

Here’s what is truly at the heart of wholeheartedness: worthy now. Not if. Not when. We’re worthy of love and belonging now. Right this minute. As is.

True belonging is not passive.… It’s a practice that requires us to be vulnerable, get uncomfortable, and learn how to be present with people without sacrificing who we are.

You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.

Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren’t always comfortable, but they’re never weakness.
