You shine for who you are ... because no one can steal your light.

Every instance of heartbreak can teach us powerful lessons about creating the kind of love we really want.

Try seeing your world and yourself this way, eyes open to whatever is before you, mind free of dichotomies. Are you good or bad, fragile or tough, wise or foolish? Yes. And so am I.

Don’t worry that you’ve wasted time. Each moment -- no matter how frozen or confused -- was a useful and necessary lesson.

This is the part of us that makes our brief, improbable little lives worth living: the ability to reach through our own isolation and find strength, and comfort, and warmth for and in each other. This is what human beings do. This is what we live for, the way horses live to run.

Remember, intimacy increases with honesty. Share less to keep people away and more to draw them closer.

During the times we think we’re being “unproductive,” the seeds of new worlds are germinating within us, and they need peace to grow.
