That's what life is about: about daring greatly, about being in the arena.

We can have courage or we can have comfort, but we cannot have both.

Until we can receive with an open heart, we are never really giving with an open heart.

Talk about your failures without apologizing.

Don't do anything that you're already not great at doing.

Shame: We all have it. It's that gremlin that says 'I'm not enough.' Or, if you're feeling pretty confident,...'ooh, who do you think you are?' Shame always has a seat.

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.
