I’ve lectured about this innumerable times and my new book has a chapter completely devoted to this subject and yet life keeps showing me (and therefore I must keep reminding myself), that when we “wait” we’re really postponing possibility. Possibility of what? Everything. For love. For creativity. For insight. For experience. For failure; which givesRead more

I’m the king of over-share. I didn’t even know what that word meant a couple months ago, because I realized that ever since I was a kid, I’d express things that most people would think were “private.” But it just felt normal for me to express my truth. And I think if you watch children,Read more

  Nobody talks about this because I think we often feel we’re supposed to have the same feelings for something that we had when we first stumbled upon it.

A character that’s beautiful and dangerous and mysterious and exciting and complicated and messed up and Divinity expressed in tangible form and spectacular and empathetic and scary and . . . well . . . human?

When we make an investment in something, we are hoping to receive a benefit at some point in the future. What if we made an investment in telling a newRead more

  I didn’t even know what a narrative was in my 20’s so I think this is an important reminder for all of us. It’s simply one of the predominant stories of your life you most like to tell that threads itself into other stories that thematically become the through-line of your life. But theRead more
