“You don’t have to be fearless. Just be sincere.”

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.

Pull over to the side of your journey and look how far you’ve come.

But what if we took it one step further and made an effort to actually transform our pain into something beautiful? What if we went full out and made an effort to transform other people’s pain into something beautiful?

People magazine with a bag of sour cream and onion chips always makes be feel a bit trashy. But good trashy.

It’s a great privilege to dream.

Shift your energy from protecting yourself from failure to squeezing the life out of life.

The cosmos doesn’t measure sweat and hours for reward. The cosmos deals in the currencies of joy and satisfaction.

Apologizing makes me feel vulnerable. And strong. Expressing gratitude makes me feel vulnerable. And strong. Maybe there’s something to this vulnerability/strength connection, eh?

If your goals aren’t synced with the substance of your heart, then achieving them won’t matter much.

Love the necessary hard work.

If you try to keep your most sacred ambitions off of your weekly calendar and your most genuine traits off of your resume, then you’re missing out on the power of real integrity.

Your life unfolds in proportion to your courage.

What if desire wasn’t an urge to be tamed, but a beacon of truth to be followed?

Forget about being impressive and commit to being real.

Gratitude is like love or fresh air – you can’t get too much of it.

Despotic governments can stand ‘moral force’ till the cows come home; what they fear is physical force.

I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it is an illusion to me. Failure always made me try harder next time.

I’m intimidated by the fear of being average.

People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.

We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful.

Man cannot possess anything as long as he fears death. But to him who does not fear it, everything belongs. If there was no suffering, man would not know his limits, would not know himself.

Let us fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers; vices are the real murderers. The great dangers lie within ourselves.

I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.
