It’s not enough to watch the great people in our lives and wish ourselves to be like them. Rather, it’s realizing that we need to wish ourselves to be the best version of us. For then, we will be like the people we’ve been watching.

If I’m concerned about why I’ve changed in the way I have, I might start being concerned about the places where I’ve been.

To realize your potential you must look beyond the end of yourself, realizing that where you end is most likely where you actually begin.

I think that one of the greatest achievements in becoming an adult is to carefully cultivate the child within us so that the adult that we are becoming is never given enough room to destroy us.

The art of becoming an adult is creating a place for child, for the former without the latter leaves us being less than half of what we could be and none of what we were supposed to be.

To abandon the child ‘within’ means that the adult ‘without’ will be an adult in name only. And frankly, I can only name a handful of things that are that tragic.

I have been driven to desperation more times than I can count. But it is here that I have been driven to the greatest inspiration that I can contain.
