Connection gives us the purpose and meaning in life.

Connection: LOVE and BELONGING.

People feel worth of love and belonging; believe that they are worthy of love and belonging.

They have 3 things in common

• courage
  • come from the whole heart
  • To let people know who you are, not who you should be.
  • This leads to authenticity.
• compassion
• vulnerability

Shame and fear undo connection.

• We all have it. People who do not experience shame have no capacity for human empathy or connection.

Blame is a way to discharge discomfort and pain.

Embrace the uncertainty.

To my child:

• You are imperfect, but you are worthy love and belonging.

To myself

• I am not perfect, but I am worthy love and belonging.
