My anguish came from my hypothesis that other people's hypothetical hypotheses about me mattered. Ridiculous!

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.

Fear is the raw material from which courage is manufactured. Without it, we wouldn't even know what it means to be brave.

Rest until you feel like playing, then play until you feel like resting, period. Never do anything else.

You're exactly where you're meant to be, meandering along a crooked path.

Many people think passion is a fuzzy feeling that makes taking action effortless. In fact, it's the gritty courage and tenacity to forge onward.

Any moment you spend attacking yourself is a moment away from your higher purpose and your power to love. Don't go there.
