Boundaries and Accountability

If were going to practice acceptance and compassion, we need boundaries and accountability.

Compassion

Compassion is not a relationship between a healer and the wounded. Its a relationship between equals. 

Courage

Ordinary courage is about putting your vulnerability on the line. Speaking honestly and openly about who we are, about what we are feeling, and our experiences (good and bad) is the definition of courage.

Vulnerability

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 the light. 

Loving Ourselves

How much we know and understand ourselves is critically important, but there is something that is even more essential to living a Wholehearted life: loving ourselves.
