Love is a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them - we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.

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

Lean into the discomfort of the work.

Unused creativity is not benign.

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.

It's a practice for me every day, sometimes every hour of every day. It is an absolute practice. When I went into the research, I really thought that there are authentic people and inauthentic people, period. What I found is, there people who practice authenticity and people who don't. The people who practice authenticity work their ass off at it.

Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.
