Define what “selfish” or “soft” really mean. Trust that rest and grace can coexist with excellence. Self-compassion doesn’t dilute effectiveness. It sustains it.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/lkzp_tmrB3kQbG68kgS7np4zDz6SL3S6Q3F6B0q0KUU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83YzFh/NDgwYmQ5MTQ5MjJj/YzYxZmUyMmViOTZi/OGYzYi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
