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

If you're not in the arena also getting your ass kicked, I'm not interested in your feedback.

Through my research, I found that vulnerability is the glue that holds relationships together. It's the magic sauce.

If you own this story you get to write the ending.

It's about showing up. And sometimes I don't do it. I almost always regret it, but sometimes I don't do it. Sometimes I walk into a situation where I'm intimidated and I want to be liked and I want to fit in, and I don't choose authenticity. And it's always pretty miserable.

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

Unused creativity is not benign.
