When we numb [hard feelings], we numb joy, we numb gratitude, we numb happiness.

It’s no longer a question of can I do it. It’s a question of: Do I want to do it?

Living a connected life ultimately is about setting boundaries, spending less time and energy hustling and winning over people who don't matter, and seeing the value of working on cultivating connection with family and close friends.

Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.

Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen. To ask for what you need. To talk about how you're feeling. To have the hard conversations.

There’s nothing more daring than showing up, putting ourselves out there and letting ourselves be seen.

I now see how gifts like courage, compassion, and connection only work when they are exercised. Every day.
