Don't try to win over the haters; you are not a jackass whisperer.

We can’t practice compassion with other people if we can’t treat ourselves kindly.

Trust is a product of vulnerability that grows over time and requires work, attention, and full engagement.

Vulnerability is not weakness.

Let go of who you think you should be in order to be who you are. Be imperfect and have compassion for yourself. Connection is the result of authenticity.

I think a lot of us are multiple things that don't always fit together neatly in a bio box.

We would solve a lot of huge problems that are causing massive suffering. Poverty, violence, homophobia, heterosexism, racism, the environment - all these things that are crippling us. We need big, bold, dangerous, crazy ideas to solve these problems. When failure is not an option, innovation and creativity are not options.
