Inspirational Sayings

As you think about your own path to daring leadership, remember Joseph Campbell's wisdom: "The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek." Own the fear, find the cave, and write a new ending for yourself, for the people you're meant to serve and support, and for your culture. Choose courage over comfort. Choose whole hearts over armor. And choose the great adventure of being brave and afraid. At the exact time.

Brene Brown (Dare to Lead, page 272)

Be yourself (Authenticity)

When you have the courage to be yourself, you'll feel a freedom like no other. The right people will love the real, beautiful, and creative soul that you are - quirks and all. Take a stand for authenticity and openness. Believe in yourself. To be yourself is to be free.

Leadership is: Someone looks at the world and notices a hole in it. She thinks to herself, "This thing, this idea, this service, this kind of person should exist to fill that hole." She waits for a little while, thinking about that. And then she stops waiting and creates creating the thing herself. She becomes the person she was waiting for. She created the thing she needed.

Glennon Doyle

Keep going. That's all you have to do, ever. You really don't have to be amazing, or fierce or beautiful or successful or good. Just keep going, please. Slowly is fine. Crawling is fine. No feeling is final. Except hope.

Glennon Doyle

When I rise up let me rise up joyful like a bird. When I fall let me fall without regret like a leaf.

Wendell Berry

What a beautiful thing it is to be able to stand tall and say "I fell apart, and I survived."

I am learning to love the sound of my feet walking away from things not meant for me.

Be the women who fixes another woman's crown without telling the world it was crooked.

If you hang out with me for too long I'll brainwash you into believing in yourself and knowing you can achieve anything.

The time is now! Better "oops" than "what if".

Let whoever think whatever.

Frankly, there isn’t anyone you couldn’t love once you’ve heard their story.

Motivational Director

When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment, he needs help. That is the message he is sending.

John Doe

Thich Nhat Hanh

When the student is ready, the teacher appears. When the student is truly ready, the teacher disappears.

Lao Tzu

Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.
