“Your passion is your qualification. It’s your leading qualification.”

Passion will always move you in the direction of your authentic self.

Your curiosity is your growth point. Always.

Nobody can tell your story the way you can tell your story.

Almost any decision is better than no decision — just keep moving.

It’s not about the goal, it’s about how you want to feel when you get there.

Small, deliberate actions inspired by your true desires create a life you love.

You don’t need to be burned out to go on hiatus.

Life balance is a myth. It’s an illusion and the very pursuit of it is driving us crazy. For me it’s about proportion – it’s really a work hard/play hard equation.

If you trusted that your art was going to support your life, how would you live?

Words can make you sick. Or healed. – Words create worlds because the universe is always listening… and so are your cells, your psyche, and your children, your team, and the apples.

There’s a time and purpose for being lost. If you don’t judge the being lost you get through it sooner.

There is nothing as easy as being inspired.

Launch and learn. Everything is progress.

I only want to hit my targets if the aiming and the hitting both feel good.

Decide to get over it. You know, just let it go. It can be that simple.

I want to surrender to the feelings and shapes of words and not stop until I am clearly heard by myself and my God.

What you think will determine what you become, and how you think will determine how you lead. 

I never saw myself as an individual who had any particular leadership powers.

How easy it is to govern when one follows a system of consulting the will of the people and one holds as the only norm all the actions which contribute to the well being of the people.

We urge G7 leaders to be as brave as women and girls are every single day.

A strong leader accepts blame and gives the credit. A weak leader gives blame and accepts the credit.

Cruel leaders are replaced only to have new leaders turn cruel.

Always drink upstream from the herd.

You can’t be that good; you work for me.
