We need less posturing and more genuine charisma. Charisma was originally a religious term, meaning "of the spirit" or "inspired." It's about letting God's light shine through us. It's about a sparkle in people that money can't buy. It's an invisible energy with visible effects. To let go, to just love, is not to fade into the wallpaper. Quite the contrary, it's when we truly become bright. We're letting our own light shine.

If you are not grieving, you are not conscious. But if you are not rejoicing in the possibilities of how this could all change, then you are not looking through the filter of the greatest spiritual perspicacity.

Every decision you make reflects your evaluation of who you are.

Our triumph over sorrow is not that we can avoid it but that we can endure it. And therein lies our hope; that in spirit we might become bigger than the problems we face.

Only write from your own passion, your own truth. That's the only thing you really know about, and anything else leads you away from the pulse.

Some of the most patriarchal thinkers I know are women. Some of the most feminist thinkers are men.

You are emerging from the cocoon of your former self. There are no limits to the extent of the transformation that's possible for you.
