I'm never more courageous than when I'm embracing imperfection, embracing vulnerabilities, and setting boundaries with the people in my life.
When you numb your pain you also numb your joy.
Compassion is not a virtue -- it is a commitment. It's not something we have or don't have -- it's something we choose to practice.
We cannot ignore our pain and feel compassion for it at the same time.
Courage is telling our story, not being immune to criticism.
Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren't always comfortable, but they're never weakness.
