“Creativity is connected to your passion, that light inside you that drives you. That joy that comes when you do something you love. That small voice that tells you, 'I like this. Do this again. You are good at it. Keep going.' That is the juicy stuff that lubricates our lives and helps us feel less alone in the world.”
“If you can speak about what you care about to a person you disagree with without denigrating them or insulting them, then you may actually be heard.”
“You aren't allowed to feel special, but no one knows the specific ways you are in pain.”

More on Authenticity
“Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. Don't over-analyze your relationships. Stop playing games. A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.”
“People learn from who we are, rather than what we say, and to believe otherwise is a disease of the mind.”
