Listen with Curiosity

Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest problem with communication is we don’t listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don’t listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what’s behind the words. – Roy T. Bennett

Embrace Imperfection

Create boundaries. Honor your limits. Say no. Take a break. Let go. Stay grounded. Nurture your body. Love your vulnerability. – Aletheia Luna

The more grateful I am, the more beauty I see. – Mary Davis

Remember to Play and Have Fun

Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth. – Rumi

Communicate Courageously

It takes courage for people to listen to their own goodness and act on it. – Pablo Casals
