“Radical Acceptance is the willingness to experience ourselves and our lives as they are.”

“On this sacred path of Radical Acceptance, rather than striving for perfection, we discover how to love ourselves into wholeness.”

“To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest.”

“We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.”

“Imperfection is not our personal problem—it is a natural part of existing.”

“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.”

“The boundary to what we can accept is the boundary to our freedom.”
