Sometimes even feeling bad feels good. Negative emotions can feel so familiar (especially if they mimic our past) as to actually be comforting. Awareness is realizing that our life could always be better. Growth is doing what it takes to make it better.

Love the necessary hard work.

Eventually, you have to stop picking a fight with your true nature and decide to seek the joy that underlies it all.

Passion will always move you in the direction of your authentic self.

If it doesn't light you up, you're not the right person for the job.

Shift your energy from protecting yourself from failure to squeezing the life out of life.

What you stop doing is just as important as the things you start doing.
