No one can give you anything-love, shame, self-esteem- until you give it to yourself. Today, give yourself good things.

Make stuff up. Anyone who ever did something new or interesting was making it up as they went along.

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.

Perpetually doing, without ever tuning in to the center of our being, is the equivalent of fueling a mighty ship by tossing all its navigational equipment into the furnace.

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.

Tiny steps will get you to your goal months and months sooner. A little is better than a lot.

I want you to be supervised, all day every day, by people who forgive your errors and believe in your destiny.
