The price of change is measured by our will and courage, our persistence, in the face of difficulty.

How many times have we brought in an outsider to tell us what we already knew?

If we believe something does not exist unless we measure it, then we put aside: love, feeling, intuition, art and philosophy.

We need to tell people not to be helpful. Trying to be helpful and giving advise are really ways to control others. ... Advice, recommendations, and obvious actions are exactly what increase the likelihood that tomorrow will be just like yesterday.

All we have to do to create the future is to change the nature of our conversations, to go from blame to ownership, and from bargaining to commitment, and from problem solving to possibility.

Every parent's deepest wish is that their children are self sufficient, happy, and able to live a full life.
