If you're invested in security and certainty, you are on the wrong planet.

Openness doesn’t come from resisting our fears but rather from getting to know them well.

Things falling apart is a kind of testing and also a kind of healing.

Life is glorious, but life is also wretched. It is both...Life is glorious, but life is also wretched. It is both.

If it's painful, you become willing not just to endure it but also to let it awaken your heart and soften you. You learn to embrace it.

Words themselves are neutral. It's the charge we add to them that matters

Affirmations are like screaming that you're okay in order to overcome this whisper that you're not. That's a big contrast to actually uncovering the whisper, realizing that it's a passing memory, and moving closer to all those fears and all those edgy feelings that maybe you're not okay. Well, no big deal. None of us is okay and all of us are fine. It's not just one way. We are walking, talking paradoxes.
