Dive In, Joy Awaits

“To laugh is to live profoundly.”― Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting

“Try to feel compassion for how difficult it is to be an imperfect human being in this extremely competitive society of ours. Our culture does not emphasize self-compassion, quite the opposite. We’re told that no matter how hard we try, our best just isn’t good enough.”― Kristin Neff, Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself

Be kind to yourself and then spill into the world.
Share with great abandon.
Kindness, generosity, connection, laughter, joy, play, rest, delight, beauty, wonder.
These are not soft.
They are tough, gritty, resilient, secret weapons to live well.
Get to the work of living.
Daily.

“Our successes and failures come and go—they neither define us nor do they determine our worthiness.”― Kristin Neff, Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself
