Who is your bridge? And who can you be a bridge for?

You are acceptable right here and now—no matter what.

What do we really need?

Three sentences to get your motivation moving.

There’s no right way to grieve.

When we zoom out, we can see how those backward steps fit into the remarkable progress we have made, and we can use that perspective to stop judging ourselves so harshly.

Starting something new will always bring disruption, challenges, and complexity. There are no exceptions. It doesn't mean that you're incapable, that you're not good enough, that you should give up, or that you'll never figure it out.

All that time you spend worrying about what other people are thinking of you... and, lo and behold, no one is really thinking about you—because we are all busy thinking about ourselves.

Curiosity is everything.

Open your mind to other possibilities.

No one’s path is straightforward or smooth.

All it takes is one message.

Keep transforming.

Be willing to try

It’s so easy to forget, and so important to remember: you only have visibility into your insides and everyone else’s outsides. You don’t see everyone else’s ups and downs, witness their challenges and struggles, or experience their fear and uncertainty.

A meaningful, happy life will inevitably involve difficult experiences and emotions. You can’t work towards a cause that you care about without feeling stress; you can’t craft a fulfilling relationship without tending to your wounds; you can’t grow as a person without experiencing fear.
