Nobody can tell your story the way you can tell your story.

Happiness is like rising bubbles -- delightful and inevitably fleeting. Joy is the oxygen -- ever present.

Launch and learn. Everything is progress.

Value inner attunement as much as you value outer attainment.

You're not going to die. Here's the white-hot truth: if you go bankrupt, you'll still be okay. If you lose the gig, the lover, the house, you'll still be okay. If you sing off-key, get beat by the competition, have your heart shattered, get fired...it's not going to kill you. Ask anyone who's been through it.

Forget about being impressive and commit to being real.

The surest sign that you're working with the life-affirming kind of discipline, rather than the spirit-depressing kind, is that you don't complain very much about doing what it takes.
