Embrace vulnerabilities
Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy — the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light. ? Brené Brown

Live the life you love
If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it. — John Irving
