"The right question is usually more important than the right answer."

Always be learning from others. Whenever you meet someone, you don’t want something from them, you want to learn from them.

If you don't know where you are going, you'll end up someplace else.

You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.

~ Zig Ziglar

"Vulnerability is the only authentic state. Being vulnerable means being open, for wounding, but also for pleasure. Being open to the wounds of life means also being open to the bounty and the beauty. Don't mask or deny your vulnerability: it is you greatest asset. be vulnerable: quake and shake in your boots with it. The new goodness that is coming to you, in the form of opinion, situations, and things can only come to you when you are vulnerable, i.e. open." - Taoist saying

If you ask me, this a pretty badass quote! It reminds me of something I read about body language, when I first discovered this site. I remember reading that a Don Juan's posture should always be open! Arms never crossed, completely open almost as if expecting an attack....my wording might be wrong but I'm sure that's the gist of it.

[Kbomb]

I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible; to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance, to live so that which came to me as seed goes to the next as blossom, and that which came to me as blossom, goes on as fruit.

― Dawna Markova
