I always have something to learn. I always have something to learn. I always have something to learn.

Be. Be where your feet are. (Thanks KR for this one!) And be there on purpose.

Everything is temporary. Live richly.

Priorities. Live changed.

What you’re doing – matters. How you’re living – matters.

BothAnd is absolutely acceptable. And is FULL of grace.

You’ll know what you need to know when you need to know it. Don’t waste the unknown on wishing you knew what you’re not supposed to know. And then, when you know, do the best you can.

Bravery isn’t the flexed arm. Bravery is participating rather than seeking escape or rescue. Bravery is considering the counter-cultural and counter-nonstructural viewpoints. Bravery is holding BothAnds when EitherOrs come with much more clarity. Bravery is choosing the path that resists. Bravery is genuineness. Bravery is grieving. Bravery is gratitude. Bravery is grace-filled. Bravery is having tough boundaries and a soft heart. Bravery is showing up when confidence, certainty, and faith feel small. Bravery is engaging in tough conversations, receiving feedback, and offering it. Bravery is saying, ‘I don’t know,’ and hearing what comes after that. Bravery is asking, ‘What do you know,’ and hearing what comes after that. Bravery is giving credit where credit is due – for others and for you. Bravery is traversing upside-down in an unexpected and twisted Wonderland. Bravery is living on purpose.
