“We’re a nation hungry for more joy: Because we’re starving from a lack of gratitude.”

Hope is a function of struggle.

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.

Nothing taken for granted; everything received with gratitude; everything passed on with grace.

Let everything go, let gratitude take you to new heights.

The gratitude you receive from others is a reflection of your genius.

Gratitude, fill me up and overwhelm me with peace.

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, or worn. It is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace & gratitude.

It is always possible to be thankful for what is given rather than to complain about what is not given. One or the other becomes a habit of life.

I’m extremely grateful that I discovered my passion. I love movies. I love to watch them, I love to make them.

Those with a grateful mindset tend to see the message in the mess. And even though life may knock them down, the grateful find reasons, if even small ones, to get up.
