I majored in Chinese. I was never really good at Chinese but I really, really benefited from having been exposed to Asian philosophy early in my life.

No part of your experience is wasted. Everything you've experienced so far is part of what you were meant to learn.

It's only by starting in a place of peace that we find our purpose and power.

I'm not saying we have power over everything in our lives - if that were true, my hair would look so, so different - but I am saying that there's no circumstance in which we are completely powerless.

Learning to spot narcissists and deal with their destructive behavior can save you the world of hurt that awaits anyone who mistakes the near enemy for a friend.

The repercussions of one person living in stubborn gladness are incalculable.

Don't let your life revolve around whatever you're trying not to do or feel. Live to experience, not to avoid.
