Dare to be the adults we want our children to be.

Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are.

Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren't always comfortable, but they're never weakness.

Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen. To ask for what you need. To talk about how you're feeling. To have the hard conversations.

What makes you vulnerable makes you beautiful.

Believing that you're enough is what gives you the courage to be authentic.

Shame hates it when we reach out and tell our story. It hates having words wrapped around it - it can't survive being shared. Shame loves secrecy... When we bury our story, the shame metastasizes.

Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it.

It's the risk takers that move the human race forward.

Oh! that gentleness! how far more potent is it than force!

I'm so busy during my everyday, when I go on vacation I need to pull the plug like they say, and to do nothing.

A warrior balances solitude and dependence.

As a child, I was able to know that I wanted a better life.

Not all citizens can be equally strong; but they can all be equally free.
