I would do anything to be anywhere in the vicinity of Eckhart Tolle.

I know this sounds strange, but as a kid, I was really shy. Painfully shy. The turning point was freshman year, when I was the biggest geek alive. No one, I mean no one, even talked to me.

You are ready and able to do beautiful things in this world.
