Pain is like a life coach in your body. It’s what made me a life coach because I started paying a lot of attention to what made me hurt and what didn’t. It turned out my body was trying to steer me away from a life that was absolutely wrong for me and into a life that was absolutely wonderful.

If you're a bit spongy, vulnerable to the unsettling energy of others, count yourself lucky. You've been given an incentive to armor up, to consciously screen out the ubiquitous stresses that afflict humanity.

The average adult laughs 15 times a day; the average child, more than 400 times.

Every day brings new choices.

Whenever you go somewhere that speaks to your soul, you are going home to yourself.

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

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