You can't get to courage without walking through vulnerability.
Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love.
Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid, but that doesn't change the truth that I am also brave and worthy of love and belonging.
Healthy striving is self-focused: "How can I improve?" Perfectionism is other-focused: "What will they think?"
Rest and play, are as vital to our health as nutrition and exercise
That's what life is about: about daring greatly, about being in the arena.
