Love always requires courage and involves risk.

The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.

There can be no vulnerability without risk; there can be no community without vulnerability; there can be no peace, and ultimately no life, without community.

The feeling of being valuable is a cornerstone of self-discipline because when you consider yourself valuable you will take care of yourself- including things like using your time well. In this way, self-discipline is self-caring.

America's greatest sin is the refusal to delay gratification.

Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.

There is no act of love that is not an act of work or courage. No exceptions.
