We can say 'Peace on Earth.' We can sing about it, preach about it or pray about it, but if we have not internalized the mythology to make it happen inside us, then it will not be.

You can't be that kid standing at the top of the waterslide, overthinking it. You have to go down the chute.

Someone was hurt before you, wronged before you, hungry before you, frightened before you, beaten before you, humiliated before you, raped before you… yet, someone survived… You can do anything you choose to do.

Don't feel entitled to anything you didn't sweat and struggle for.

Progress doesn't happen all at once; it's a slow grind. But a commitment to serving as an agent of positive change will bring us closer one step closer.

The progress of the world will call for the best that all of us have to give.
