I believe everyone is born with what it takes to live a happy life and be successful in spite of the pitfalls that may get in the way.

No need to become someone else or be reshaped by another because it’s all inside waiting to be awakened.

The trick is to stretch yourself into feeling what’s already within.

If you’re overly cautious, taking prudent risks.

If you’re your own worst critic, becoming your best cheerleader.

If you expect trouble, expect that you have the ability to deal with it.

During exams when the tension is high, I like to tell my classes to remind themselves how fortunate they are to be alive.

Times of great disruption also bring a multitude of opportunity.

You’re good enough as is.

Full stop.
