When we live our lives authentically, we discover our true place in the world for the first time.

A nap is not to be confused with sleeping. We sleep to recharge our bodies. We nap to care for our souls. When we nap, we are resting our eyes while our imaginations soar. Getting ready for the next round. Sorting, sifting, separating the profound from the profane, the possible from the improbable. Rehearsing our acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize, our surprise on receiving the MacArthur genius award. This requires a prone position. If we're lucky, we might drift off, but we won't drift far. Just far enough to ransom our creativity from chaos.

A new chapter in life waiting to be written. New questions to be asked, embraced, and loved.

Today carve out a quiet interlude for yourself in which to dream, pen in hand. Only dreams give birth to change.

Your heart will always tell you what’s working and what’s not.

Forgiveness is a form of gratitude. When we forgive others, we show them the mercy that we have often received and been thankful for.

Conscious choice is creative. Unconscious choice is destructive. That is how we end up living other people's lives.
