“Our call to courage is to protect our wild heart against constant evaluation, especially our own. No one belongs here more than you.”

“stop walking through the world looking for confirmation that you don’t belong. You will always find it because you’ve made that your mission. Stop scouring people’s faces for evidence that you are not enough. You will always find it because you have made that your goal. True belonging and self-worth are not goods; we don’t negotiate their value with the world.”

“true belonging is the spiritual practice of believing in and belonging to yourself so deeply that you can share your most authentic self with the world and find sacredness of being a part of something and standing alone in the wilderness true belonging doesn’t require you to change who you are; it requires you to be who you are.”
