Seeing people as innocent is the greatest gift you can give another human being: the gift of acceptance.

...risk is one of the keys that move you from fear to freedom.

Each precious moment of your life in which you are frozen with fear is a moment when you are not being all you can be. In the end, that hurts more than anything. Succeeding or failing does not determine if we are surviving or living. Rather it is in our ability to reach beyond our present self-imposed definition of who we are, and to risk becoming more, that we are able to feel fully alive.

Listen to others as if they are telling you the truth, ask questions when you aren't clear, and allow others the room to have different feelings than you. No more assigning hidden motives, prejudging and cutting people off before separating fact from fiction.

Purpose directs passion and passion ignites purpose.

Being willing makes you able.

We are afraid of failure, of ridicule, of being rejected. We are afraid we’re not good enough.
