Kindle Notes & Highlights
Be fearless. Take the first step. Once we choose
Pause. Breathe slowly and deliberately. Think positively. Remember your strength. These feelings will eventually leave, because ultimately they know they have no home within your sacred self.
True confidence comes from affirming ourselves regularly and treating ourselves kindly.
When we live with honesty, positive intentions, fairness, love, integrity, and transparency, we do not need to spend our time explaining ourselves to others.
Healthy thinking is when we choose to guide our thoughts in a way that benefits our best self.
Healthy thinking does not mean you never have dark thoughts; it just means that you
don’t stay in unhelpful thoughts long enough for them to influence your reality.
Authorize yourself.
give yourself your own credentials, and you be the one who qualifies who you are.
Is this the kindest thought I could have? Is this the kindest thing I could say? Is this the kindest action I could take in this situation?

When we focus solely on validations from the outside world, we end up being very easily controlled by circumstance, but when we remain humble and firmly rooted in our ever- present goodness, we can celebrate our accomplishments and learn from our disappointments without letting them be the things that define us.
Divine timing is real. The caterpillar enjoys the energy of being grounded as much as it will enjoy the energy of being a butterfly in the sky. This is because one cannot exist without the other, and every phase of the cycle is equally as necessary as the next. You will have less worry in your life when you can appreciate all of the moments of becoming who you are.
Why affirm negative energy when we can just as easily transform it into positive energy? Be the reason someone realizes how simple it is to be nice.
We are not here to see things the same way. We are here to share ideas and be in community with each other, and we can only do that by respecting each other’s perspectives so that we may cocreate a culture where everyone is better loved and kept safe.
tired I was tired of worrying so I gave myself my peace back I was tired of feeling intimidated by what I should do so I pulled up my sleeves and got to work on what I could do I was tired of not knowing so I found out—about myself, my family, my ancestors, my government, and the struggles of others I was tired of seeing evil everywhere so I found the heavenly spots and showed my neighbors where they were I was tired of looking at the world as one big
so I decided to start cleaning it up and when people ask me if I am exhausted I tell them no because more than anything what I got the most tired of was being tired
When we remember that not every difference in opinion is an attack, we are able to give the love, the respect, and the compassionate listening required to handle conflict peacefully. Just because someone disagrees with us does not mean that they are against us.
How do you treat others? How do you talk to people? Whether it is your best friend or a stranger, be someone who sees them, who affirms their dignity, and who honors their humanity.
Our words are an extension of our energy. Our words also affirm our energy.
“Until further notice . . . celebrate everything.”
It is a thank-you to everything and everyone allowing you to be in your story while it unfolds.
The world is constantly asking us to identify who we are based on checking a box. We put so much pressure on ourselves to live within whichever box we are checking, but the most empowering thing we could ever do with boxes is design our own. You are not who you are because of which job, personality type, gender, or race box you check.
You are who you are because you are not a box at all, and if you were a box, you would be one that is immense enough to hold all of the boxes that make you feel excited to be alive.
When we forgive, we acknowledge that we are far bigger and greater than one individual moment.
