To love someone fiercely, to believe in something with your whole heart, to celebrate a fleeting moment in time, to fully engage in a life that doesn’t come with guarantees – these are risks that involve vulnerability and often pain. But, I’m learning that recognizing and leaning into the discomfort of vulnerability teaches us how to live with joy, gratitude and grace.

That's what life is about: about daring greatly, about being in the arena.

Our capacity for wholeheartednes s can never be greater than our willingness to be broken-hearted.

Loving and accepting ourselves are the ultimate acts of courage.

Feeling vulnerable, imperfect, and afraid is human. It's when we lose our capacity to hold space for these struggles that we become dangerous.

Faith minus vulnerability and mystery equals extremism. If you've got all the answers, then don't call what you do 'faith.'

There is no such thing as creative and non-creative people, only people who use their creativity and people who don't.
