When somebody comes up to you and shows you yellow underlining of something you wrote, that's such a high. It's a connection to others.

Conviction is a force multiplier. If you want something, claim it in your gut. The universe itself responds to your inner certainty.

I used to feel like I was waiting for someone to discover me, to 'produce' me, like Lana Turner at the drugstore. Utlimately I realized that the person I was waiting for was myself. If we wait for the world's permission to shine, we will never receive it.

Happiness is a decision I must make.

You have to make a space in your heart, in your mind and in your life itself for authentic human connection.

For what we engage, we transform. And what we engage with our hearts is transformed forever.

I don't think that anyone can age in a conscious way and not experience grief.
