Have a vision but hold it lightly, wear it like a loose garment.

What makes me most happy is connecting with others. I love meeting new people, being social, and engaging in empowering discussions.

I believe in any kind of personal growth practice that can help you gather the tools that you can then apply to resentment, anger, pain, and rage in order to heal your past resentments toward yourself and others, and then deal with them in the moment so you don't carry them for a decade or more.

I feel very accomplished. It makes me feel great to know that I am impacting lives and of service to the world.

You have to be ready to receive help, whether that be through a book, a therapist or counselor, or a doctor of some kind. That willingness can lead you through a door to the other side, and that's where healing can truly begin.

We're not really brought up in a culture where we believe we're meant to be happy, that peace is our birthright. It's not what we're taught; quite the opposite, actually. With all the expectations and the negative stories going on in the world, we have a lot to overcome.

Be real. That's part of being present.
