To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest.

We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.

Show up, show up, show up, and after a while the muse shows up, too.

I restore myself when I'm alone. A career is born in public — talent in privacy.

It is so easy to give, so exquisitely rewarding.

Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.

The struggle, like life itself, should be joyful.

It's not your job to be likable. It's your job to be yourself. Someone will like you anyway.

We all accept too easily that life has to be hard and forget to make sure we have the most fun we can.

Life is not meant to be easy, my child; but take courage: it can be delightful.

The only thing people regret is that they didn’t live boldly enough, that they didn’t invest enough heart, didn’t love enough.

Healing begins where the wound was made.
