The one thing that keeps us out of connection is our fear that we're not worthy of connection.

We can’t practice compassion with other people if we can’t treat ourselves kindly.

If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.

Many people think of perfectionism as striving to be your best, but it is not about self-improvement; it's about earning approval and acceptance.

Courage, the original definition of courage, when it first came into the English language -- it's from the Latin word "cor," meaning "heart" - and the original definition was to tell the story of who you are with your whole heart.

All the stuff that keeps you safe from feeling scary emotions? They also keep you from feeling the good emotions. You have to shake those off. You have to become vulnerable.

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