There's no evidence that vulnerabilty is weakness.

Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are.

Don't try to win over the haters; you are not a jackass whisperer.

Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.

Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren't always comfortable, but they're never weakness.

Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen. To ask for what you need. To talk about how you're feeling. To have the hard conversations.

What makes you vulnerable makes you beautiful.

Believing that you're enough is what gives you the courage to be authentic.

Shame hates it when we reach out and tell our story. It hates having words wrapped around it - it can't survive being shared. Shame loves secrecy... When we bury our story, the shame metastasizes.

When we deny our stories, They define us. When we own our stories, we get to write the ending.

Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it.

When we fill our hearts with self-love, we kindle sparks of compassion all around us.

Nowadays, the concept of love is greatly trampled because there is too much permissibility.

If you would accept that, you create your sins. Then perhaps, you will accept that Satan has no power over you.

Our danger is not too few but too many options ... to be puzzled by innumerable alternatives.

People are renovating places and opening ambitious new venues. That's one thing that music does. It gets people out of their houses, and gets them hanging out together.

If you were around in the '60s, you already know that music and art and love are a critical part of the revolution. This is how we fight.

Out in the lonely woods the jasmine burns Its fragrant lamps, and turns Into a royal court with green festoons The banks of dark lagoons.

Listen carefully. The way(s) we speak about things is revealing.

Teaching children to read was one thing; keeping them interested in reading was something else.

Education makes some men wiser, others more ridiculous and foolish!
