“Who you are today . . . that’s who you are. Be brave. Be amazing. Be worthy. And every single time you get the chance? Stand up in front of people. Let them see you. Speak. Be heard. Go ahead and have the dry mouth. Let your heart beat so, so fast. Watch everything move in slow motion. So what. You what? You pass out, you die, you poop? No. (And this is really the only lesson you’ll ever need to know.)”

“There can be no life without change; stagnation is death.”
― Thornton Chase, Bahai Revelation

“It is my life, your life, not philosophy, not meditation alone, not
mysticism, not preaching or hearing, but DOING; doing every day
that which makes an advance and starts at least one ripple of progress
in the little world of which the doer is temporarily the Center. It is
effort, struggle to make today better than yesterday, and to lay a new
foundation, a higher base for the building of tomorrow”
― Thornton Chase, Bahai Revelation

“They tell you: Follow your dreams. Listen to your spirit. Change the world. Make your mark. Find your inner voice and make it sing. Embrace failure. Dream. Dream and dream big. As a matter of fact, dream and don’t stop dreaming until your dream comes true.
I think that’s crap.
I think a lot of people dream. And while they are busy dreaming, the really happy people, the really successful people, the really interesting, powerful, engaged people? Are busy doing.”
