"Our fear places conditions on our experience."
"Each posture, each breath we take, loosens our grip on the life that we have lived and allows for the birth of a new one. Eventually, caught up in the beautiful work of being present for grace, we forget about ourselves, and through self-forgetting we find ourselves." - Rolf Gates
"The trick is to keep exploring & not bail out, even when we find out that something is not what we thought." - Pema Chödrön
"There is a river flowing now, very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart and suffer greatly. Know that the river has a destination. The elders say we must push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above water. See who is in there with you, and celebrate." - Hopi Teaching
"Play is a profound biological process. It has evolved over eons in many animal species to promote survival. It shapes the brain and makes animals smarter and more adaptable . . . Play is the vital essence of life. It is what makes life lively. When people know their core truths and live in accord with their 'play personality,' the result is always a life of incredible power and grace." - Stuart Brown
"This is not about ... sugarcoating anything in feel-good goo. It's about being confident in your ability to turn difficulty into possibility, upsets into positive energy, & breakdowns into breakthroughs." - Baron Baptiste
