It is a mistake to try and win someone over, because it means trading in the sense of self in search of approval from another. By doing this, people stop believing in their own worth.\u003cbr\u003e The first step toward living wholeheartedly is for people to have thecourage to reach out to others and to share their own stories of shame. When in need of compassion, people should reach out to the right person, someone who supports them whether they are feeling strong or whether they are struggling. When people are willing to reveal that they are imperfect and real, their relationships are strengthened. They make a connection. This is why courage, compassion, and connection are thegifts of imperfection.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCourage is displayed when people are willing to speak honestly and openly about who they are, what they are feeling, and their experiences both good and bad. Courage is about being vulnerable. It takes courage for someone to ask for what he or she needs and to risk disappointment. When one person has courage, it can create a ripple effect, making others around that person a little braver.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCompassion is a relationship between two equals. It occurs when people recognize they share humanity with others. The heart of compassion is acceptance by people of themselves and of others. In order for compassion to occur, people need to set boundaries and hold others accountable for their behavior. The key to compassion is being able to separate people from their behaviors. It is necessary to address what people do, not who they are.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eConnection exists as the energy between people who feel they have been seen, heard, and valued without judgment. People feel strengthened by this relationship and need connection to do well emotionally, physically, spiritually, and intellectually. Connections happen when people both give and receive with an open heart.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLEASE NOTE: This is \u003cem\u003esummary\u003c\/em\u003e of the book and NOT the original book.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInside this Instaread Summary of The Gifts of Imperfection:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eBook Overview\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eImportant People\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eChapter Summaries \u0026amp;  Key Takeaways\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eA Reader’s Perspective\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWith Instaread Summaries, you can get the summary of a book in 30 minutes or less.
