I always felt like if I lived in true authentic self-expression and lived in service and in support of many other people, I would be exempt from having to deal with yet another crisis in my life. I was wrong.

The greatest act of courage is to be and to own all of who you are — without apology, without excuses, without masks to cover the truth of who you are.

True courage comes not just from feeling confident and strong, but from being the honest, authentic expression of yourself. Think about how audacious it is to really believe in yourself. It tathat your presence on this earth matters.

I've always tried to stay true to my authentic self.

Self-awareness is the ability to take an honest look at your life without any attachment to it being right or wrong, good or bad.

I've always lived my life fearlessly, and what I want to do with my life, I do.
