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.

Every time we choose courage, we make everyone around us a little better and the world a little braver. And our world could stand to be a little kinder and braver.

Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are.

At the end of my life I want to be able to say I contributed more than I criticized.

Healthy striving is self-focused: "How can I improve?" Perfectionism is other-focused: "What will they think?"

The difficult thing is that vulnerability is the first thing I look for in you and the last thing I'm willing to show you. In you, it's courage and daring. In me, it's weakness.

Vulnerability is about showing up and being seen. It's tough to do that when we're terrified about what people might see or think.
