“I believe there are three keys to cultivating a meaningful existence in the 21st century; they are: Embrace Weakness, Practice Renunciation and Be Known. First, in admitting weakness, we confess our need and come closer to one another. Second, is renunciation. In letting our yeses be yes and our noes be no, we form commitments, and in these limits we find our meaning and joy. Third, we must be known. We matter most to the people in our lives who truly know us, and, in honor, we must devote our lives to them. We do not discover who we are in a solitary state; we find it in mutual dependency, in learning through belonging.”
– Cristina Crook, “The Joy of Missing Out”
