As you resolve to embrace these transformative mindsets, linger with these words from theologian Barbara Brown Taylor: “To become fully human . . . means growing gentler toward human weakness. It means practicing forgiveness of my and everyone else’s hourly failures to live up to divine standards. . . . It means living so that ‘I’m only human’ does not become an excuse for anything. It means receiving the human condition as blessing and not curse, in all its achingly frail and redemptive reality.”
