I wince now at the words I said in the past to grieving friends. "Find peace in your memories," I used to say. To have love snatched from you, especially unexpectedly, and then to be told to turn to memories. Rather than succor, my memories bring eloquent stabs of pain that say, "This is what you will never again have.

How is it that the world keeps going, breathing in and out unchanged, while in my soul there is a permanent scattering?

I am here to keep becoming truer, more beautiful versions of myself again and again forever. To be alive is to be in a perpetual state of revolution. Whether I like it or not, pain is the fuel of revolution. Everything I need to become the woman I’m meant to be next is inside my feelings of now. Life is alchemy, and emotions are the fire that turns me to gold. I will continue to become only if I resist extinguishing myself a million times a day. If I can sit in the fire of my own feelings, I will keep becoming.

What we call the personality is often a jumble of genuine traits and adopted coping styles that do not reflect our true self at all but the loss of it.

I needed to write, to express myself through written language not only so that others might hear me but so that I could hear myself.

You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.

1) Do less. Stop dividing your attention.

2) Do it right now. Once you have identified the essential, go fast. Maintain a bias toward action.

3) Do it the right way. Acting quickly doesn't mean acting carelessly. Get to work right away, but keep working on it until it's right.

Grief is one big, gaping hole, isn’t it? It’s everywhere and all consuming. Some days you think you can’t go on because the only thing waiting for you is more despair. Some days you don’t want to go on because it’s easier to give up than to get hurt again.

There will be moments when you have to be a grown-up. Those moments are tricks. Do not fall for them.

One of the reasons to move really really fast at what you do is that is that life is short and unpredictable. Don’t waste a moment.

This tweet is about work. Don't forget to have as much fun as you want in life too!

"I came to a point where I needed solitude and just stop the machine of thinking and enjoying what they call living, I just wanted to lie in the grass and look at the clouds."

Be the one in your family to break your generational health curses

Trust me

It’s possible.


“X Health problem runs in my family”

If you never take care of your health

Then that might be your destiny

But with an ancestral way of eating, sunlight and exercise

A long, healthy and fruitful life awaits you

I wondered if that was how forgiveness budded, not with the fanfare of epiphany, but with pain gathering its things, packing up, and slipping away unannounced in the middle of the night.

The most powerful brain changes happen when we focus, have an internal sense of urgency and get enough sleep to allow changes to brain structure to happen.
