What does it take to
fully inhabit your life? It takes realizing how important the I that is you is
to the equation.
Change occurs at the
edges, without permission.
The death rate for
people who play it safe and for people who live boldly is the same: 100
percent.
Generosity, it turns
out, is a way of being in the world, not a way of giving in the world. It has little to do with giving gifts, and
everything to do with giving space to others to be who they are.
Creating inclusion
requires being generous. Most often it
consists of simply extending a hand.
What we believe is
"normal" is simply "common".
What we do everyday
is often based on a pattern that we can no longer recognize because it is so
ingrained over time -- or so unconscious.
We lose the ability
to see things once we name them.
On this flight we
call life, choose your seatmates wisely.
Sit with people you would embrace while going down, who won't hog the
armrest or steal your peanuts or take your in-flight magazine. Sit with people who will comfort you when
you're scared.
Become you, that You
not shaped by outside forces, but the one standing up straight, a perfect
balance of wind and still, of solid and sway.
