« … allowing fear does not make one broken, it makes one human.
With self-compassion, we are motivated toward achievement for a different reason—because we care. If we truly want to be kind to ourselves and don’t want to suffer, we’ll do things to help us reach our full potential, such as taking on challenging new projects or learning new skills. Because self-compassion gives us the safety needed to acknowledge our weaknesses, we’re in a better position to change them for the better. »
