“Do not see others as your example, as that can hold you back. First, find your own inner calling and follow that.”

“You know, some people got no choice, and they can never find a voice, to talk with that they can even call their own. So the first thing that they see, that allows them the right to be, why they follow it, you know, it’s called bad luck..”

“What helps most is remembering that such a cry or attack or sly blow is a reflection of that other person’s inner state; it is not an omniscient summary of you. Your reaction reflects your own inner state, and that can tell you which aspects of your own inner world are needy of attention. p.291”

“...if you live with your conscience and follow your instincts, you can get through with inner peace.”

“When you're following your inner voice, doors tend to eventually open for you, even if they mostly slam at first.”

“You don't have to disrespect and insult others simply to hold your own ground. If you do, that shows how shaky your own position is.”
