Don't buy society’s definition of success. Because it’s not working for anyone. It’s not working for women, it's not working for men, it's not working for polar bears, it's not working for the cicadas that are apparently about to emerge and swarm us. It’s only truly working for those who make pharmaceuticals for stress, sleeplessness and high blood pressure.

What preoccupies us is the way we define success. If you see your life purely in terms of money and power, then everything in your life becomes about 'Am I getting ahead?' and that is truly a barbaric way to live, because it eliminates huge chunks of our humanity.

Don't miss the moment. It's all we have

Hollywood has gone from the capital of conspicuous consumption to the cutting edge of conspicuous conservation.

We take better care of our smartphone than ourselves. We know when the battery is depleted and recharge it

The more we refuse to buy into our inner critics - and our external ones too - the easier it will get to have confidence in our choices, and to feel comfortable with who we are.

We all have within us a centered place of wisdom, harmony, and balance.
