“Humbleness, forgiveness, clarity and love are the dynamics of freedom. They are the foundations of authentic power.”

Awareness is a blissful state, not a painful one.

When you seek to dominate another you dominate no one but disempower yourself.

As your temptations become greater, so does your ability to make responsible choices.

You create your reality with your intentions.

You cannot act in love and act in fear at the same time. You must choose between them.

Trust allows you to give. Giving is abundant. As you give so it shall be given to you. If you give with judgment, limitation and stinginess, that is what you will create in your life – judgment, limitation, and stinginess.

Your dragons are the frightened parts of your personality, and you alone can experience and heal them.

Clarity is the ability to see the soul in action in the physical world.

You must distinguish between what is urgent and what is important. You could accomplish all of the urgent things that you desire without accomplishing anything that is important.

Eventually, you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is.

The commitment to love always transforms, heals, and opens new avenues of creativity.

The decisions that you make and the actions that you take upon the earth are the means by which you evolve.

A joyous person abounds with energy and feels buoyant, because he or she is running a higher frequency current of energy through his or her system.

Knowledge is power, and for each level of knowledge, you are held responsible for how you use it.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. You receive from the world what you give to the world.

Do you love the truth more than you need to be loved, or do you need to be loved more than you love the truth?

Childlike surrender and trust, I believe, is the defining spirit of authentic discipleship.

Authentic brands don’t emerge from marketing cubicles or advertising agencies. They emanate from everything the company does.

When we see others beginning to live their authentic selves, it drives us crazy if we have not lived out our own.

You taught me how to be kind, generous, honest, truthful, trustworthy, authentic, by simply being yourself.

The key in telling stories that people relate to is, not surprisingly, vulnerability and authenticity. That means that letting people know the struggle behind your brand – the failures and mistakes – and how you got through them is really important.

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

True success – financial, personal, and professional – lies above all in loving your family, working hard, and living your passion. In telling your story. In authenticity, hustle, and patience. In caring fiercely about the big and the small stuff. In valuing legacy over currency.

People around the world, they want the authentic Starbucks experience.
