“Healing is an ongoing process, and it’s never done. From a motivational or an attitudinal standpoint, you come at yourself a lot differently if you’re trying to heal than if you’re wanting to fix. To the extent that you are applying more grace and more empathy and more love to yourself as you are navigating behavioral patterns in your life, you are healing more than fixing. Healing is acceptance—radical acceptance. It’s being patient with yourself and not berating yourself up over unmet expectations, either yours or other people’s, and not basing your worth on external validation.”
― Zachary Levi, Radical Love: Learning to Accept Yourself and Others

“It’s absolutely necessary to build healthy boundaries with people who’ve hurt and abused you in life, but boundaries are only one part of it. You can build walls to keep out everyone who’s ever hurt you, but you’ll still be dying alone inside your own castle if you’re not doing the work, your work, to get healed.”

“The danger of externalizing one’s self-worth is that you’ve given over control of how you feel about yourself to forces beyond your control.”
