Perfectionism is self destructive simply because there's no such thing as perfect. Perfection is an unattainable goal.

I don't have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness - it's right in front of me if I'm paying attention and practicing gratitude.

There is no joy without gratitude.

When you don't put your initials behind your name, and I've got tons of them, and when you talk about storytelling or love or gratitude, you're diminishing your legitimacy and importance in this world.

I'm just so grateful, because to feel this vulnerable means I'm alive.

The one thing that keeps us out of connection is our fear that we're not worthy of connection.

Vulnerability is not about fear and grief and disappointment; it is the birthplace of everything we're hungry for.
