  1. Our freedom lies within the gap between stimulus and response… Though we may not have all the information at hand, we can choose movement instead of stagna-tion, exploration instead of paralysis.

  1. Confidence isn't a quality we are born with or something that magically happens; it's built through action.

#4

  1. By being open about the experimental nature of your commu-nity, you encourage others to be open, too.

#5

  1. You don't need to be an expert to learn in public.

First, remember that "expertise" is a mirage; the closer you get, the more illusory it seems.”

  1. As Anaïs Nin said, there will be a day when the risk to remain tight in a bud will feel more painful than the risk it takes to blossom.

#7

  1. This is how you discover your life's meaning—by focusing on your daily actions rather than the content of your future eulogy.

#8

  1. You are an evolving canvas, an unfolding story, a great work in the making. All you can do is imagine a world of possibilities and keep on experimenting until you discover what works. Each experience, whether a success or a failure by conventional standards, opens new doors, which you'll pass through with new capability and wisdom.

  1. …the magic for us lies in discovering the experiences that light that spark.
