“Courage is like – it’s a habitus, a habit, a virtue: You get it by courageous acts. It’s like you learn to swim by swimming. You learn courage by couraging.”

Feeling and owning our own shit instead of working it out on others is key.

Nothing has transformed my life more than realizing that it’s a waste of time to evaluate my worthiness by weighing the reaction of the people in the stands.

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

Our choices affect everyone around us. There is no such thing as “individual risk” or “individual wellness.

Surviving this crisis will take a shift in mindset, and that’s tougher than we think – especially when we’re afraid. ⁣

If you own this story you get to write the ending.

We can’t call ourselves free or brave when we keep running from the truth.

Our ability to live a life of love and meaning, to make the world a braver and kinder place.

The dark does not destroy the light; it defines it. It’s our fear of the dark that casts our joy into the shadows.

Always straddling the tension and trying not to tap out.⁣

You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.

Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them – we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.

Imperfections are not inadequacies; they are reminders that we’re all in this together.

You can’t spell wholehearted without A.R.T.

This global pandemic is a real case of “getting sick together” or “staying well together.

Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.

The sun himself is weak when he first rises, and gathers strength and courage as the day gets on.

Take advantage of every opportunity; where there is none, make it for yourself, and let history record that as we toiled laboriously and courageously, we worked to live gloriously.

The future came and went in the mildly discouraging way that futures do.

Courage consists not in hazarding without fear, but being resolutely minded in a just cause.

Whether you be a man or woman you will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.

Courage taught me no matter how bad a crisis gets, any sound investment will eventually pay off.

If you dare nothing, then when the day is over, nothing is all you will have gained.

I am finding the courage to breathe as I am.
