Caring for your inner child has a powerful and surprisingly quick result: Do it and the child heals.

Use anything you can think of to understand and be understood, and you'll discover the creativity that connects you with others.

When you do the thing you fear, the thing loses its power to scare.

Humans only really learn from each other by storytelling. We didn't evolve to memorize things. We evolved to hear each other's stories and feel them in our heart. Your life is the most powerful story you can tell.

I've developed the habit of mentally listing things that make me optimistic about the future. I do it every day.

The difference between success and failure isn't the absence of fear but the determination to pursue your heart's desires no matter how scared you are.

Own your failure openly, publicly, with genuine regret but absolutely no shame, and you’ll reap a harvest of forgiveness, trust, respect, and connection-the things you thought you’d get by succeeding. Ironic, isn’t it?
