Time and again, I see well-intentioned, compassionate, trusting, and forgiving people allow liars, cheats, and thieves back into their lives based on a simple “sorry” feigned with a touch of earnest remorse. 

The grand finale of “us” was realizing that I was wrong about everything.

There’s a 20-year old who is proud of me, who is at peace knowing that I did what I set out to do, who is happy that I’ve found the courage to be who I truly am.

We can’t know what we truly need in order to be our happiest, in order to reach the highest level of our existence, because we’re not living at that level yet.

You can’t make someone love you when they have no love to give.

Yes, love can feel compelling, alluring, and even enchanting. But love should never feel like you’ve snorted cocaine.

True love is looking at someone in awe and admiration and love no matter what they do or who they are.

The truth is that we can have it all, and that’s terrifying.

When we allow ourselves to be happy, we invite others to be happy too.

When you’re in the grip of the quarter life crisis, you will have two competing impulses: the impulse for stability, and the impulse for novelty.

If you’re human, from the moment you wake up, your mind starts analyzing every aspect of your life and thinking of everything you need to do to improve it.

Those who meditate regularly reap rewards that are completely unknown to the average person.

We do not make a change until it becomes a psychological necessity.

Your mind isn’t looking for solutions, it’s looking for rest.

Love is the empath’s fatal flaw.

There is so much life left.

Before you give yourself to the world, remember to connect to your truest home within yourself.

He’d clearly experienced life in all its richness. Experience can’t be faked.
