The only unique contribution that we will ever make in this world will be born of our creativity.

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.

Numb the dark and you numb the light.

We're a nation hungry for more joy: Because we're starving from a lack of gratitude.

Knowledge is important, but only if we're being kind and gentle with ourselves as we work to discover who we are.

I define vulnerability as uncertainty, risk and emotional exposure. With that definition in mind, let’s think about love. Waking up every day and loving someone who may or may not love us back, whose safety we can’t ensure, who may stay in our lives or may leave without a moment’s notice, who may be loyal to the day they die or betray us tomorrow—that’s vulnerability.

Shame cannot survive being spoken. It cannot survive empathy.
