Our Humanity isn't Here to be Protected
A client once asked me to add biblical verses to a proposal I’d submitted. I declined—not because the request was wrong, but because I didn’t want my work tied to any single faith.

By now, many of us realize: We are not just bodies or minds. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
So, for me, the real question isn’t “How do we become more spiritual?”—our spirituality is already a given. The question rather is: How do we learn to respect this human journey? Growth happens in our humanity—yet we often shame ourselves for being human. For stumbling. For not being “perfect.” And in response, we chase 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦—more strategies to resist and crush limitations, more ways to conquer weaknesses.
But as the saying goes: “What we resist, persists.”
So what’s the alternative?
We choose to respect.
Not agreement. Not approval. Not pretending mistakes don’t matter or that things are fine.
Respect simply means acknowledging what is—that every fall, every flaw, is part of the experience we’re here to have.
Our humanity isn’t here to be perfected. It’s here to be lived.
How do you honor yourself in moments of imperfection?
