If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can't survive.
There is no innovation and creativity without failure. Period.
If we want to cultivate hopefulness, we have to be willing to be flexible and demonstrate perseverance. Not every goal will look and feel the same. Tolerance for disappointment, determination, and a belief in self are the heart of hope.
At the end of my life I want to be able to say I contributed more than I criticized.
