“No one knows who they are more than someone who changes their identity (before I became a farmer, I was a leadership coach).”

“I have a different vision of leadership. A leadership is someone who brings people together.”

“I don't know why I had to fall in love with someone who's more stubborn than I am.”

“I have no more idea now of who I am than I did before. But at least I know that. And I'm starting to figure out who I want to be.”

“I am the one who knows better than to ask for help. I am the one who picked up the pieces, the one who does not deserve to be thanked, the one with no expectations, the one who has learned to rely on herself, the one who became convinced that love and happiness are things bestowed upon other people.”

“The best antidote I know for worry is work. The best cure for weariness is the challenge of helping someone who is even more tired. One of the great ironies of life is this: He or she who serves almost always benefits more than he or she who is served.”
