Humility & inclusion
“I think we can’t go round measuring our goodness by what we don’t do… by what we deny ourselves … what we resist and who we exclude.
I think we have to measure goodness by what we embrace … what we create and who we include.” – Chocolat …

Learning to like ourselves
How many of us actually like ourselves and if we don’t like ourselves, how can we be honest with ourselves? Unless we learn to like ourselves, like the skin we’re in, we will never be honest with ourselves. The more we like ourselves, the more honest with ourselves we will be, the more open and honest with others we will be. That’s how it usually works.

We are not our characters
We are not our characters. When we peel back the layers on our characters that is the person we are, our core.
