Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage.

There was only one variable that separated the people who have a strong sense of love and belonging and the people who really struggle for it. And that was, the people who have a strong sense of love and belonging believe they're worthy of love and belonging. That's it. They believe they're worthy.

When we fail to set boundaries and hold people accountable, we feel used and mistreated. This is why we sometimes attack who they are, which is far more hurtful than addressing a behavior or a choice.

We are so busy that the truth about our lives can't catch up.

Empathy doesn't require that we have the exact same experiences as the person sharing their story with us...Empathy is connecting with the emotion that someone is experiencing, not the event or the circumstance.

What makes you vulnerable makes you beautiful.

Vulnerability is not about fear and grief and disappointment; it is the birthplace of everything we're hungry for.
