Staying vulnerable is a risk we have to take if we want to experience connection.

Fear is the opposite of love, in my opinion.

Our capacity for wholeheartednes s can never be greater than our willingness to be broken-hearted.

Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy.

Wholeheartedness. There are many tenets of Wholeheartedness, but at its very core is vulnerability and worthiness; facing uncertainty, exposure, and emotional risks, and knowing that I am enough.

I now see how owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.

Empathy fuels connection; sympathy drives disconnection.
