Have the courage to love yourself like you always wished someone would.

It is not the path that you have trouble finding. You knew your path since your first daydream. It's courage you're searching for - courage to trust yourself and stop searching for a travel partner who knows better than you where to go. And courage is only built in action.

They say, "Look before you leap." So look. But do not look for too long. Do not look into the void of uncertainty trying to predict each and every possible outcome, to evaluate every possible mistake, to prevent each possible failure. Look for the opportunity to leap, and leap faster than your fear can grab you. Leap before you talk yourself out of it, before you convince yourself to set up a temporary camp that turns into a permanent delay on your journey into your own heart.

I know of no better or quicker way to step into my greatness than to step out of what's familiar.

To be courageous, we must be willing to surrender our perfectionism, if only for a moment. If my self-worth is attached to being flawless, why would I ever try to learn anything new? After all, learning requires mistakes.

Imagination is a gift.I've misused it,Hired it toPaint my wallsWith fear.I've learned it,Laughed atMy storiesOf "truth."I've burst with it,Dripped myHopes and liesOnto you.And now I've become it,Stopped tryingTo control my wildfireAnd let it spread.Life is a gift.I'm. Opening. It.

Sometimes, breaking down is the bravest thing you can do.

It’s not enough to wish, dream, hope. Even children know this. We must set sail into the sea of uncertainty. We must meet fear face-to-face. We must take our dreams as maps for a greater journey. Dreams, to come true, need a good story. So go live one.

Don't let what you thought you were yesterday keep you from becoming what you're meant to be today.
