“We have amazing people with hope and skills who simply need the chance to make a life for themselves. And they want to solve their own problem, with coaching and guidance. They need job creation and skills development. And most importantly, they need to know that they matter.”

“With love resonating through our souls, we are capable of energizing and enlivening those around us with startling power. This energy makes us beautiful to all, even to those who are so concerned with themselves that they can barely see what is right in front of them. This energy gives us access to every power that humans have to create connection with one another: caring, patience, thoughtfulness, kindness, compassion, empathy. It also gives us the charge to lead, activating within us the one virtue needed to unify humankind: courage of the heart.”

“People who are resilient are okay with sitting in the negative, feeling real sadness, experiencing the gamut of emotions. Truly resilient people know that a huge part of the process is accepting the bad feelings that come with adversity, not trying to escape them. You experience them, learn from them, and fight back. You grow from them. They strengthen you. You realize that avoidance and fear are weaknesses. You embrace the negative and let it empower you to persevere. You have figured out how to make weaknesses into strengths. Resilient people are optimistic while also accepting their range of emotions.”

“When we’re constantly needing to defend our positions and worry about the choices we make, we get stuck in our problems. Our energy stagnates and we become more concerned about what others think than what our intuition is signaling to us. It doesn’t matter whether our resistance comes from external or internal judgment—the outcome tends to be the same. Fear of judgment or making wrong choices keeps us frozen in our problems. It keeps us stuck between two points, never moving forward to explore what lies beyond the horizon.”
