  • notes::
    • everyone who had connection, the common was that they believe they are worthy and are whole-hearted people ^gtlcT4CHn
      • goals i want to be whole-hearted
    • three things they had are
      • courage: tell the story of who you are with your whole heart, courage to be imperfect
      • compassion: to be kind to others because they treat themselves kindly
      • connection: as a result of authenticity, let go of who they thought they should be to be who they are
      • vulnerability: its not comfortable or excruciating, it’s just necessary. willingness to say i love you first and do something where they are no guarantees
    • we numb vulnerability because shit is going down and we need numbness to survive
      • problem is we can’t selectively numb bad stuff, we take them all together
      • never numb, feel everything, be courageous enough to take it all on
      • the more afraid we are, the more we blame others, try to perfect things that are imperfectable
        • perfection is bad
    • it’s not the critic who counts, it’s the person in the arena. at least he’s daring greatly regardless of whether he fails or wins
    • shame is focus on self, guilt is focus on behavior
    • creativity and innovation and connection come from vulnerability and discarding shame ^o509DyDgk
