“Social distancing doesn’t have to mean social disconnection.”

Vulnerability is not about winning or losing. It’s having the courage to show up even when you can’t control the outcome.

Feeling and owning our own shit instead of working it out on others is key.

Nothing has transformed my life more than realizing that it’s a waste of time to evaluate my worthiness by weighing the reaction of the people in the stands.

Staying vulnerable is a risk we have to take if we want to experience connection.

Our choices affect everyone around us. There is no such thing as “individual risk” or “individual wellness.

Surviving this crisis will take a shift in mindset, and that’s tougher than we think – especially when we’re afraid. ⁣

If you own this story you get to write the ending.

We can’t call ourselves free or brave when we keep running from the truth.

Our ability to live a life of love and meaning, to make the world a braver and kinder place.

The dark does not destroy the light; it defines it. It’s our fear of the dark that casts our joy into the shadows.

Always straddling the tension and trying not to tap out.⁣

You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.

Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them – we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.

Courage is like – it’s a habitus, a habit, a virtue: You get it by courageous acts. It’s like you learn to swim by swimming. You learn courage by couraging.

Imperfections are not inadequacies; they are reminders that we’re all in this together.

You can’t spell wholehearted without A.R.T.

Deep human connection is … the purpose and the result of a meaningful life – and it will inspire the most amazing acts of love, generosity, and humanity.

How empowering it is to easily cut toxic connections.

The greatest obstacle to connecting with our joy is resentment.

Writing for other artists helped me figure out that magic you have to capture to make everyone connect with a song.

I make sure to use both Twitter and Facebook a lot which helps me connect to the fans.

One way to look at meditation is as a kind of intrapsychic technology that’s been developed over thousands of years by traditions that know a lot about the mind/body connection.

Everything that is in the heavens, on earth, and under the earth is penetrated with connectedness, penetrated with relatedness.

One of the most powerful networking practices is to provide immediate value to a new connection. This means the moment you identify a way to help someone, take action.
