Powerful Quotes:
"When I realized that the one thing that I had so heavily identified myself with wasn't all of who I was, that's where things started to crack."
"Anything that you judge and perceive in another person... if you have any reactivity to anything outside of yourself that is over the top or unwarranted, it is your own self belief that's in the way."
"The closer that you get to know yourself, the more rich and deep are the things that you do. It doesn't matter what you're doing - you could be doing nothing, and someone would say, 'that person is deep.' You just ooze it."
