Men walk this tightrope where any sign of weakness illicits shame, and so they're afraid to make themselves vulnerable for fear of looking weak.

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.

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

The choices you make now, the people you surround yourself with, they all have the potential to affect your life, even who you are, forever.

The game itself is bigger than the winning.

Everything that's happened has brought me here, to this place, with this knife in my hand, and something worth saving.

I'm gonna do everything I can to get even with you. I started today when I wrote your name down in 34 telephone booths.

I would have waived the Jones Act, and some unions not might not like it, not union membership, but the union leaders, too many, who are thugs.

The List is Life.
