When i allow myself to feel all my feelings instead of numbing myself to them, they pass more quickly. i spent my entire life telling everyone i was "ok, damn it." but when you surrender to the [uncomfortable] feelings, there are gifts on the other side: allowing yourself to feel loneliness forces you to reach out. letting yourself get angry gives you strength, energy and motivation.

...you have to pass an exam, and the jobs that you get are either to shine shoes, or to herd cows, or to tend pigs. thank god, i don't want any of that! damn it! and besides that they smack you for a reward; they call you an animal and it's not true, a little kid, etc.. oh! damn damn damn damn damn!

Confronting our feelings and giving them appropriate expression always takes strength, not weakness. it takes strength to acknowledge our anger, and sometimes more strength yet to curb the aggressive urges anger may bring and to channel them into nonviolent outlets. it takes strength to face our sadness and to grieve and to let our grief and our anger flow in tears when they need to. it takes strength to talk about our feelings and to reach out for help and comfort when we need it.

In the recovery movement, they call what i'm talking about letting go and letting god. if you're uncomfortable with the word god, just add an o and make it good. the two words are interchangeable. it just means allowing this divine source of kindness, beauty and creativity to be the dominant force in your life - whatever you're doing. i truly believe that god writes all the books and builds all the bridges. sure, i sit down for six or seven hours a day with my pen and pads - but the message moves though me and i just allow.

Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead. this scarcity makes leadership valuable...it's uncomfortable to stand up in front of strangers. it's uncomfortable to propose an idea that might fail. it's uncomfortable to challenge the status quo. it's uncomfortable to resist the urge to settle...if you're not uncomfortable in your work as a leader, it's almost certain you're not reaching your potential as a leader.

Any praise i receive does not change me, for i pass it right along to god. i walk because god gives me strength to walk, i live because god gives me the supply to live, i speak because god gives me the words to speak. all i did was to surrender my will to god's will. my entire life has prepared me for this undertaking. this is my calling. this is my vocation. this is what i must be doing. i could not be happy doing anything else.

Faith is the surrender of the mind; it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other mammals. it's our need to believe, and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. of all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated.

You have two choices with obama. you either believe that he is a man of christ... or you think he's a liar. and i'm surprised by the number of atheist free thinkers that support obama, and their argument is essentially, 'he's lying about being religious 'cause you have to do that to get elected.' it's a horrible reason to like somebody.

To have a positive religion is not necessary. to be in harmony with yourself and the universe is what counts, and this is possible without positive and specific formulation in words.
