Vulnerability pushed, I pushed back. I lost the fight, but probably won my life back.

If you own this story you get to write the ending.

I can't be paralyzed anymore by the critics. My new mantra is, if you're not in the arena getting your ass kicked on occasion, then I'm not interested in your feedback. You don't get to sit in the cheat seat and criticize my appearance or my work with mean-spiritedness if you're also not in the arena.

Wholehearted living is not like trying to reach a destination. It's like walking toward a star in the sky. We never really 'arrive,' but we certainly know that we're heading in the right direction.

The universe is not short on wake-up calls. We’re just quick to hit the snooze button.

Knowledge is important, but only if we're being kind and gentle with ourselves as we work to discover who we are.

We cannot selectively numb emotions, when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions.
