“To become fully human means learning to turn my gratitude for being alive into some concrete common good. It means growing gentler toward human weakness. It means practicing forgiveness of my and everyone else's hourly failures to live up to divine standards. It means learning to forget myself on a regular basis in order to attend to the other selves in my vicinity. It means living so that "I'm only human" does not become an excuse for anything. It means receiving the human condition as blessing and not curse, in all its achingly frail and redemptive reality.” HumansMeanDoeSelfRealityOrderTurnsForgetCommonAliveGrowingConditionsDivineGratitudeBlessingStandardsWeaknessBasesExcuseCurseHuman ConditionReceivingConcreteCommon GoodFrailVicinityI'm Only Human Author:Brené Brown
