Forgiving ourselves for all the woulda-shoulda-couldas in life, and sometimes forgiving others for actions that we feel undercut or undermine our good, can be very challenging. But forgiveness of the past and mistakes, our own mistakes as well as the mistakes of others, is imperative if we are to dwell fully in the present and experience the miracles that are only available to the forgiving and loving mind.

The role of a leader is not to rule over other people, but to hold a space for their own genius.

The last thing we should do is allow ourselves to be infantilized by a counterfeit version of enlightenment.
