“When we live from our genius, we are always generous. Because we are so filled up and fueled by giving. It’s not a zero-sum game. It doesn’t take from us and give to another. It gives to both of us. It creates more life than was there before.”
“Our genius flows through every moment of our lives. Every job, every relationship, every experience, every trauma. Our job is simply to identify the thing we’ve always done. Not the way we’ve chosen to do it.”
“But a hero doesn’t just take action for results—and certainly not just short-term results. A hero takes action because it’s who they are. It’s a way of being. To constantly choose the right thing over the easy thing, even when it’s not validated by the world.”
I think it feels so vulnerable to share our shame because we’re essentially offering the world the very weapons to destroy us. We’re giving up control and saying, ‘Here are what I believe are the worst parts of myself, and I’m offering them up to you.'”
“The great irony for us visionaries is that we try so hard to present an idealized version of ourselves to the world—and, in doing so, we end up blocking ourselves from ever accessing what is truly magical about us.”
“Home is the place where I feel safe and powerful. It’s a place where I get to be fucking weird. I might even sing or dance out of nowhere in my home. I can certainly be honest and vulnerable and goofy in my home. I can be ‘too much’ and ‘not enough’ in my home.”
