To be influential in our conversations, we must first be aware of two things, (1) what do we want to bring to the conversation and (2) what do we want to bring out in others.

Perspective is what allows us to step back and see the entire forest instead of just the same old tree we keep running into again and again.

When we take care of ourselves like we would take care of someone we love, the quality of our living and our giving goes up.

Many people would rather be certain of their worries and fears, than risk the uncertainty of hope and optimism.

When dealing with problems, seek not to "change" some aspect of your life but instead, choose who you want to become as a path to what you want. Transformation and healing then take place as a process of becoming versus avoiding.

Becoming critical in the face of criticism, only inspires more criticism.

Living exclusively in the land of the head or the heart will always be a limiting, limited experience. The most successful among us have dual citizenship.
