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 like ourselves and if we don’t like ourselves, how then can we be honest with ourselves?

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. What happens to us in life through the layers of unconscious patterns that build up, is not who we are. We see the world as we are. We see the world through the unconscious patterns we build up over time.
