1 " You will always be too much of something for someone: too big, too loud, too soft, too edgy. If you round out your edges, you'll lose your edge. "
― Danielle LaPorte
2 " Steadily, we are listening more to the intelligence of our hearts—and acting on that wisdom. And that's what spirituality is—an expression of Love. "

3 " As the legend goes, when the Phoenix resurrects from the flames, she is even more beautiful than before. "
4 " NOBODY knows better than you what's right for you. NOBODY. Let me say what I really mean: NOBODY. Advice? Get some. Oracles? Consult them. Friends? Worship them. Actual gurus? Honour them. Final say? YOU. All you. No matter what. No matter how psychic that psychic is, or how rich the business consultant is, or how magical the healer, or bendy the yoga instructor. All that experts offer you is data for you to take into consideration. YOU are the centrifugal force that must filter, interpret, and give meaning to that data. "
5 " I needed someone to tell me that I was sane, that I was special, and that I wasn't all that special. "
6 " I'm a seeker who writes about what I find. And maybe, on just the right day, I can help you flatten your learning curve. If I've got anything to say, it's this: you are the authority on you. "
7 " Somehow I get the idea that being whole is about being perfectly consistent. I'd rather we be perfectly honest. "
8 " You will always be too much of something for someone: too big, too loud, too soft, too edgy. If you round out your edges, you lose your edge. "

10 " Desire is a teacher: When we immerse ourselves in it without guilt, shame or clinging, it can show us something special about our own minds that allows us to embrace life fully. —Mark Epstein, Open to Desire "

11 " Masters focus on whatever they do best. "
12 " In short: all the woo is keeping us from dealing with our poo.Instead of medicating with Marlboros and martinis, we might be doing it with metaphysics and macrobiotics. And unlike boozing it up to drown our pain, the side effects of neurotic psychoanalyzing or forced flexibility are difficult to spot. We don't end up in rehab from too much meditation or therapy -- we just end up in more workshops. Think of that friend you have who has a not-so-loving relationship with her body, but because she eats "health foods" and talks a good "body positive" talk about just wanting to be strong, we cheer her on. But really, she's got self-destructive motivations and a mild eating disorder disguised as a holistic wellness routine. On the surface, positivity and wellness goalkeeping present so nicely that it can be hard to see when healthy actions are hooked to unhealthy ambitions. Like too much of anything, spiritual bypassing can numb us out from our Truth -- which is where the healing answers wait to be found. "
13 " You will always be too much of something for someone:too big, too loud, too soft,too edgy.If you round out your edges,you lose your edge.Apolozise for mistakes.Apolozise for unintentionally hurting someone profusely.But don't apolozise for being who you are. "
14 " Care more about being accurately and precisely who you are, than caring what someone might think about you. Be daring enough to tell us--your customers, your fans, your people--about your deep desires and ambitions, because we?ll be the ones to help you fulfill them. You don't have to be fearless. Just be sincere. "
15 " Consider that you radiate. At all times. Consider that what you’re feeling right now is rippling outward into a field of is-ness that anyone can dip their oar into. You are felt. You are heard. You are seen. If you were not here, the world would be different. Because of your presence, the universe is expanding. "
16 " Knowing how you actually want to feel is the most potent form of clarity that you can have. "
17 " We must have the daring to be nothing but ourselves if we are to know what true power is. "
18 " You can’t always choose what happens to you, but you can always choose how you feel about it. "
19 " When you hang with your tribe, you feel invigorated, recognized, and understood—you can’t underestimate the powerful effects of being fortified in that way. When you have your tribe on speed dial, you’ve got all the resources you need to fuel up, fly straight, and head back out to face the world at large. "

20 " When we want to feel courageous more than we want to check accomplishments off our list … When we want to feel free more than we want to please other people … When we want to feel good more than we want to look good … then we’ve got our priorities in order. Divine priorities—the kind that will steer you to the life you long for most deeply. "
