“There is perhaps no more empowering belief than understanding you’re always in control of how you feel. Similarly, understanding that just because you’re not always skipping through tulips with joy doesn’t mean that something’s wrong with you.”

“While it’s often fashionable to dwell upon what might have been, what’s usually overlooked is that really and truly, it couldn’t have. Because, invariably, any romanticized versions of how things ‘might have been,’ are based upon fictionalized versions of the past.”

“Consistent effort, no matter how small, sparks magic, fills sails, butters bread, turns tides, instills faith, summons friends, improves health, burns calories, creates abundance, yields clarity, builds courage, spins planets, and rewrites destinies.”

“Whenever something doesn’t work out the way you thought it would, instead of thinking that something went wrong, see it as something that went unexpectedly well, but for reasons that are not yet apparent.”

“Deliberate living is very cool and so is deliberate resting.”

‘The path to enlightenment is not a path at all, it’s actually a metaphor for the time it takes for you to allow yourself to be happy with who you already are, where you’re already at, and what you already have – no matter what.”

“You’re the only person who knows what’s right for you.  The only one.  And if you already know what this is, commit to it.”

“To empower another, is to empower yourself.  To celebrate another, is to celebrate yourself.  And to free another, is to free yourself.  I say empower, celebrate, and free them all.”
