Connecting with the people who are meant to be part of your own North Star is much more important than any aspect of business. It's the essence of happiness, the full realization of your potential for joy.

Your first daily priority should be stillness, attention to what you really know and what you really feel.

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

Learning to quit while you're not ahead, when the dull ooze of depression tells you things are not going to get any better, is one of the best financial and life skills you can master.

When fear makes your choices for you, no security measures on earth will keep the things you dread from finding you. But if you can avoid avoidance - if you can choose to embrace experiences out of passion, enthusiasm, and a readiness to feel whatever arises - then nothing, nothing in all this dangerous world, can keep you from being safe.

Most of my clients don't realize that the way they look and the way they think about their looks are two separate issues.

You can't stay well without telling--and living--the truth.
