We can have courage or we can have comfort, but we cannot have both.

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.

For me, writing is immortality. It is wisdom. It is never-ending.

Nothing is more paralyzing than the idea of limitless possibilities.

Sometimes the memory of happiness cannot stay true because it ended unhappily.

Most hatred is based on fear, one way or another.

Surround yourself only with those who lift you higher.

Sometimes you get so close to someone you end up on the other side of them.

My feeling is I haven't done anything yet.
